Getting Started

My two brothers both have blogs (one has multiple blogs).  Two of my children blog; my son Kevin just started a new blog, adding to one devoted exclusively to poetry.  Having recently retired, I have no excuse for idling rather than making my own contribution.

While doing some unpacking, I ran across my "humor file."  It is a collection of papers (remember paper?) assembled over the years of things that struck me as funny and worth saving.  Some are emails from the days when we were enamored of forwarding 'insights' to those on our address list.

Now that I no longer work in an office where I can take the printed piece to the lunch room for others to read, and now that my wife is eager for me to express myself to others besides her, I will endeavor to post some humor from time to time and share via Facebook and Twitter.

My first offering strikes home will be about a retired husband, describing his attempts to busy himself while his wife shops.  (Unfortunately, I do not have attribution.  So if anyone can identify its origin, I will be happy to give credit.  It has been on the internet since at least 2009.)  I'll post it subsequent to this posting.

Even if I'm the only one that gets a laugh, it will be enjoyable for me.
