We have been sharing remembrances of our exploits back in the day when daily journalism was fun; it&#8217;s no longer fun, near as either of us can tell.<\/p>\n<p>I do have this blog. It began around 2009. I have gone through two lengthy streaks. The current one is the longest, by far! I have spent a good deal of time veering away from politics and reminiscing about my dear bride Kathy Anne and explaining to readers about the emotional struggle I continue to fight since losing her to cancer in early February.<\/p>\n<p>My intention is to keep plugging away daily. Bear with me.
