Keeping up with the Queen

Well, what do you suppose happened today?  Let’s see: Again, up we were (I was?), around 5ish, and that being the case, that’s when the thinking kicked in. 

 

Initially, though, that “up” is just a supposition.  “Awake” would be more like it, which often is the case (you do remember where we are and what we are doing in Blogger, right?), and awake in bed, in this case, would be entirely accurate.  Never happen to you?  Well, perhaps it may be an age thing.  I wonder about Queen Elizabeth.  The TV is saying she is celebrating her 95^th!  Well, how about that?  In just a very few years (under twenty), I might be able to understand what it feels like to be able to say that myself if, of course, that is in the cards for me.  Which, if I consider my own personal family tree information, I would have to say the odds are definitely against.  As a matter of fact, I’d have to say my present seventy-six in that category is pretty good one for we “Geddi!” 

 

No problem today, though!  I wonder how long I may be able to say that and, I expect if you are anywhere near the same number as am I (and if you might enjoy that trombonish theme song from the movie, “Sound of Music”, from whence it came) or if you are just a bit over that number, I again suspect you may be able to say the same thing.  Age is one thing that is a pretty personal thing.  Follow my lead here if you don’t believe me—after you read that newspaper headline and follow up on a few articles, turn a page or three to get to those “obits.”  In addition to seeing pretty quickly if any friends happen to have left without giving you the required notice, you will see the range varies pretty extensively.  Some older, some younger, some considerably on either side, depending on where your personal profile might be taking you.  

 

Watching that TV again might tell you there are quite a few personalities who are just a bit younger than you.  I know this will be the case if you are anywhere near my personal time frame, and if not, congratulations either on your relative youth or longevity.  In any case, I hope, you may consider yourself to be blessed just a bit regardless of whichever side of this spectrum you may find yourself on. 

 

Age—it is what it is.  We all need to learn to enjoy it, whatever ours may be.  And, as for the Queen, well, at 95, she is doing fine, wouldn’t you say?

More writing, for those who would like to see or do

                        FYI (About writing--just a bit!)

Hi, my name is Stephen V. Geddes, "Steve" to my friends. This mini info page (more fully available at the link at the bottom of this blog) is to introduce two ebooks I have for sale (for 5 and 3 bucks, respectively) at Amazon.com, at: “Stephen V. Geddes, an Autobiography,” and “Autobiographical Trust: A personal workbook: everything you need to write your personal autobiography.” Both available at Amazon.com at the link.  Suffice it to say, for me, the workbook preceded the autobiography.  

Prior to these two works, I worked for an on-line newspaper, Examiner.com, and wrote fifty (more, of course, but who was counting,) articles for them as their "Augusta Environmental Examiner" before they sold their business to another company who had no need for the type of articles I had written. 

I also have written in a couple of personal blogs, “Morningbrain, what keeps me up nights...” at “ http://stephenvgeddes.blogspot.com/ ” ; And, for reasons known only to the creators of “Blogger,” a second blog “Morningbrain (Deux...)” at http://stephenvgeddes2.blogspot.com/ . 

 The two Amazon works are, of course available for sale and the blogs are free to any and all. The workbook is something I would recommend to anyone who has a family. The Autobiography is an example of what could follow from using that workbook, and the Blogs are just what they are, something I continue to enjoy doing from time to time. Thanks for your attention, and good luck.

Should you decide to write that autobiography--and your relatives and relatives-to-be will benefit immensely, no doubt, from your efforts--you really should consider that workbook. I wish some of my predecessors had written a bit about themselves. Too late for them now, though. Too late for them and their grand children, great grandchildren and all the rest. Not for mine, though, and not for yours should you choose to give them your autobiographical gift. Additional information is available at Amazon:

That's about it (until I remember something, somewhere, or whatever else.  Which is why these things are editable.

And, as always, thanks:  Steve Geddes

Well, I guess this is the only way to get back "on the air," so to speak.  It seems the gurus at Blogger have set up rules that prohibit my continuing to post on the old "Morningbrain--what keeps me up nights..." at least in a manner that the intial postings were initially defined.  And, since the whole thing about the original Morningbrain is somewhat dependent on that first post, it seems the only thing I might do is start up a subsequent blog to allow the initial blog to remain under 50 posts to maintain that desired initial post.

Well, here goes (I guess!)

I say "I guess" because I really do not have the inspiration I usually find necessary to produce a post.  That being said, please allow me to assure all it is not my intent to waste anyone's time.  Ergo, this "post" will be a "no-go!"

Later.  (And thank you for dropping in.  Next time will be a bit more useful, or so I hope.)
