A person should be outside reveling in this lovely autumn day instead of inside creating a blog, but one does as the spirit, or one's blog mentor, moves one.

This is a new venture for me, though I have read other people's blogs, and have thought that this might be a good way for me to share (impose?) my thoughts on more people than just through emails and letters to the editor.  Recognizing, of course, that no one has to even open this blog unless they so choose.

From me, you can expect  my blogs to range from politics to dogs, from philosophy to gardens, from family to books.  As a retired teacher, I feel compelled to teach.  But I do hope that I do not possess such hubris as to expect all of my thoughts to go unquestioned.

I hope you, as well, are having as lovely an autumn day as I am,
