Musings of an Old Man

Whatever this used to be about, it is now about my dying. I'll keep it up as long as I can and as much as I want to.

Name:
Location: Columbus, Ohio, United States

I'm a 69 years old white, male, 6'1", 290 lbs., partially balding in the back. I was married for ten years and fathered two children, a daughter and a son. My current marriage (2nd) will celebrate its 39th anniversary November 4. The date will be in the news because it was the same day as the Iranian hostages were taken at the US Embassy in Tehran. (Obviously, I had a better day than they did.) I'm a Vietnam Veteran ('71-'72). I have worked as a Computer Programmer, Project Manager, Graduate Teaching Associate, Technical Writer, and Web Developer. I own, with my wife, a house and a dog.

It's A New Year

Happy New Year, everybody!
Of course, that's an odd sentiment on a blog nobody seems to read. Perhaps if I post more often somebody will find it.

Yes, I write for recognition. I've gotten some from my web site, http://home.columbus.rr.com/murrell/, which is a collection of essays that I started back before blogging was well known. I also write as a form of therapy; it's a way for me to think about things and sort them out. Even though there's not a lot posted lately on this blog or on my web site, I've been writing fairly regularly in a journal I started at my new job. Although I've done a fair amount of bitchin' about that job, I've also journaled some other thoughts for myself.

Well, this year I'm resolved to post more in this space. I'm not ready to commit to daily, but I am committed to weekly posting at least. And I see myself adding to a day's posting as the day goes along. So here's to 2005; may it be a better year all over the world.
