OK, I'm interested again. Blogging is cool when you are dedicated, like my good friend Unca Jesse. But I'm lame and forget to post for a year. Almost.

I've got no revelation today. I did get a big dose of longevity this weekend. My grandparents have been married for 70 years. I went to their anniversary party and many people turned out, old and young alike. They are each from families with more than a dozen kids each. I met several of my grandfather's siblings, many of which are older than he is. I like the idea of having good DNA that lasts a long time. More time to have fun. Only one seemed to be losing his memory. The others were sharp as a tack. My grandmother reminded me of two divine lessons she passes on to me and others whenever she gets a chance. Her one saying is: "Just do your own thing, darling." I think that explains some very deep ideas in a very simple phrase. Her other favorite line she uses to dismiss hasty judgments: "Whatever." In other words, no biggie. No comment. Profound words from a wise woman who taught me how to dig clams and make tasty cabbage.
