Opus 2013-312: Ode to Old: Almost an Anniversary

I have an anniversary coming up sometime.  I will have been posting this blog since November 27, 2010.  I have an announcement.

Due to my advanced years and state of mental health I will no longer guarantee not to repeat myself. 

There.  It is out in the open.  I often get the feeling of writer’s deja vu.  Sometimes I can go back and check.  Often I don’t have a clue.  I am going to continue to write and try to be original but I am not sure I can guarantee it.  I admire you folks that can say, “I wrote this back in 1763 on February 3.  I thought I might repost it.”  I don’t have that kind of memory.

If I repeat something it is probably because it needed to be said again because you weren’t listening the first time.  It could be it is just a matter of being important enough to repeat.  An even better possibility is that I forgot I already said it.

You will get old someday.

  1. I CAN'T get old, I'm already there. I MIGHT turn childish, though, so be forewarned! ;-)
