I get the question when I encounter strangers, who ask, &#8220;What are you doing these days?&#8221; It doesn&#8217;t pay much, but I hope to earn more income from this new &#8220;job&#8221; as we move forward.<\/p>\n<p>I do consider it a job in the sense that I spend a lot of time during most given days putting my thoughts into my laptop and then posting them for the world to see.<\/p>\n<p>There is no shortage of topics on which to comment. For that I thank Donald John Trump Sr. &#8212; among others &#8212; for providing me with plenty of grist on which to pontificate.<\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t spend a lot of time with this post. You know already that I love this job. It provides me an outlet to vent, rant, rave and occasionally sing the praises of &#8230; people and events.<\/p>\n<p>OK, we&#8217;ve passed the 9,000-post mark. I&#8217;ll likely weigh in when we get to No. 10,000.<\/p>\n<p>For now, I&#8217;m out and on to the next thing.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I probably should wait to mark a blog-writing milestone, but what the heck &#8230; I thought I would do so today.
