The Best Laid Plans . . .

Comparing today’s date with that of the most recent Monthly Missive blog posting . . . ten days have elapsed! How can that be? I’ve discovered that maintaining this project requires more than a modicum of discipline. And that’s a commodity of which I’m in short supply. Somewhat like this little one.

The easy way out, of course, is to include more graphics--either cartoons or photographs, both of which I’m in long supply. Somewhat like these wee woman.

 Writing, I love doing, but it’s a greedy pursuit, devouring much more time than scanning pictures to enhance the blog. Consequently, the big file cabinets will sharing a plethora of  “funnies” and “memories.” VINCENT will be a regular on these pages---as will  cartoons which appeared in magazines too long ago for some of you to remember their names. On the other hand, perhaps you'll recall seeing a drawing dated half a century ago. Hope so.

The newly found time will be well utilized; work continues on transcribing Monthly Missives, 2004--2011 and providing an illustration for each. That will total somewhere around seventy-five missives. Could be chapters for a book.  Could maybe not be. My brother Bill suggested such a project.


We shall return.
