Janet (Junlian'smom) says I should post more often so she can read me while drinking her coffee. So here's a "day after" blog. I don't know what she's going to do when I'm off for 10-11 days starting Thurs.

I appreciate having someone to write for (all you guys and gals). It's good therapy to write. Sure, I whine and complain and gripe about "things". But I also write positive and upbeat articles.

I'm generally a happy and contented soul (if I may use that term, even if I'm not sure there is such a thing). I have my ups and downs, my frets and doubts, my highs and lows, whatever.

I have few worries or concerns. Mostly they involve others--my father, my 4 children, my twin sisters.

I live a rather simple life. My lifestyle is basic eat, sleep, exercise (work and play), relax. I'm only "with it" by using a computer--dial up, at that. I own no cell phone, let alone anything beyond that. No Facebook or twitter. No Ipod or blackberry (whatever they are).

It' not that I'm too stupid to use them. I choose not to. What I don't have, I can't miss. People ask, "How did we live without them?" I ask, "How do we live with them?" I mean, really live? I'd rather look at birds than something in my pocket. No thanks. Give me the simple life.

Okay, so I'm rambling. But I'm setting the record straight. Therapy. Later.
