Update about blogCa

I-40 picked up the old Rte. 66 somewhere along the way, maybe Little Rock, maybe Oklahoma City. But it is the 100th anniversary of Rte 66 so I enjoyed thinking about my parents driving on part Of it in. St. Louis at least. Here we continued from Santa Rosita to Gallup NM, then left both highways to go north to CO.

The 69th Year of my descendents

I decided the year in which I was 69 years old would be interesting to write about.

But in case there isn't enough to say, I might consider some other years, or maybe other authors of similar topic.

What if one of the children born this year, when reaching 69 years of life, decides that it's time to write about that year of her/his life?  (I don't have any grand nephews or nieces born in the last year, so it wouldn't be a relative probably.)

That would be in...let's see...not 2111, for that would be 100 years from when I turned 69.
Oh dear, not having a calculator...and not knowing how to use a slide rule (any more, I probably did when I was around 18)...the long subtraction way means...ah, 2080.

So these would be descendents of my friends and neighbors.  And I won't be around to read about their lives.  Wonder how different they might be...

Thinking of the future.

Do you have a word you chose to focus upon for this year?  I did.

Thanks for commenting! I tried moderating, thinking that would be a quicker way to check on comments, but actually it takes more time. So go ahead and talk amongst yourselves, and I'll check in when I can!!
