So early 21st Century

So, I’m stepping into the blog world.  It feels odd in some way, as if the point of this technology is rapidly losing its validity, yet I’m just now getting involved.  I guess that’s a feeling that will become a regular part of my life now that I’m over 50.

I’m torn about how to utilize this blog.  Any suggestions?  I welcome that input.

One idea is to focus on stories.  I’m reminded of Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s comment, “Ideas come and go.  Stories stay.”

On the other hand, there is a great story about C.S. Lewis scolding J.R.R. Tolkien when he moved to a retirement community.  To paraphrase, he said, “Why would you want to do that?  The people living there only speak in narrative.”

Perhaps this will be a blend of both.  Either way, it’s designed to simply be a collection of thoughts, ideas, stories and, when I feel like having fun, the apocryphal.

Blessings,

Roy
