I Quit

Until a couple of weeks ago, I wrote a weekly column in local papers. I had written the column for about two years and had become frustrated at several of the limitations on my writing in those columns.
But, at the same time, I appreciate the opportunity to begin what I hope will turn into several years of using my writing to do my bit for my community of Union County, North Carolina while I relate stories that I have accumulated in my 65 years of life.
I had unfortunately become Union County's most vocal Democrat, though I am not really a Democrat or Republican. I pick and choose. But in the political climate of Union County, to be a contrarian, one must be a Democrat. This is the most Republican County in North Carolina and one more Republican would probably cause such an inflation of the mass idiocy that the whole of the county would explode. I do my part to take a little hot air out of the balloon.
I welcome those who have read my columns and are willing to continue doing so. I try to make them like a ladies skirt should be; long enough to cover the subject and short enough to be interesting.
I will probably write things here that I could never say in a newspaper feature column, but I will stop short of vulgarities.
If you reply, please be creative, truthful, and straight forward in your comments. Refrain from curse words and vulgarities and personal attacks. You may attack the heck out of another person's words and actions, however.
I will, on occasion, post some of my old articles that were printed in the papers.
Please tell others about my blog if you find it interesting. We will be heavy on human interest stuff and lighter on politics. I look forward to seeing if we can get this ship off the ground.
