My father caught 4-year-old me’s mumps in 1963 and it mutated into encephalitis. Two months in hospital and a traumatised me as I wasn’t allowed to see him. It almost killed him.

In the days before the measles vaccine, 4-year-old me passed it on to my father. He had encephalitis and it almost killed him.

How many idiots from Hicksville, AZ (sorry AZ) will think it’s all some globalist conspiracy?

As an extremely soft launch announcement, I just planned out some content for a YouTube channel.

It’s going to be about stories (mine, yours) and why we should tell them. It has some sporadic content already

I’ve come late to this party, even though I’m a historian by training (many years ago).
The idea that the biggest breakthrough of the last 500 years is that we don’t know everything and that’s a good thing has had a profound affect on me.

I guess there are others that feel like this. I just made a video I’m planning to put on YouTube. It’s a crappy 5-minute thing that needs work.
But I’ve been procrastinating too long and I needed to get started.
I also needed to hear this. Just get started.

If they cheated in 2020, why didn’t they do it again in 2024 Putin-style?

Rats in a sack. Hilarious if it wasn’t so tragic.

I’m about to reread One Hundred Years of Solitude after I was first blown away by it in the 80s. I’m hoping I’ll be able to follow the Netflix adaptation in Spanish then.

Time was when B&N was the enemy. Then came Amazon.

Well that is the big question. I’m trying to remember what I did for my first tweet in 2009.

Of course, when you start a new social platform you can build another persona, a new brand. But I’m fine with my real story.

I’m just finding my way. I just believe we all have a story to tell even if we think no one cares. I’m working it out as I go along

This is my first post and I obviously don’t know what I’m doing. But I’ll figure it out.
