Every time I ever thought about making a blog, I balked. I mean, I just don’t enjoy going through the processes of reminding myself of the day-in-day-out mundane things or even stories or thoughts that transcend those things. Laziness? Perhaps.

Moreso, I think, is the fact that I don’t like talking about me. Modesty? Paranoia? Probably a nice, lukewarm soup consisting of both.

And then it occured to me…

My father’s father died in 1996 from the complications that come from Alzhheimer’s. I can’t imagine or perceive the torment that caused. But genetics may have the final say as to if and when that will happen.

It’s something we all go through — forgetting. Time moves on and we find ourselves occasionally recanting memories out of the blue from long ago. So I figured maybe writing things down and taking pictures of things I like wasn’t such a bad thing after all. Even if for just my own benefit.

But perhaps my own silly-assed stories and thoughts will entertain someone else as well.
