Old Fashioned Guy
Yesterday, I reached 350 posts on this site. That is a lot of writing, drafting and proofing, as well as a lot of ranting, complaining and preaching.
Someone commented that my post on Labor Day camping made me sound like a grumpy old man. Yup.
I am, in many ways, old-fashioned, with habits and dislikes fairly common to people in their sixties, particularly men, I think. We seem less tolerant of other people’s quirks and habits than do women.
Women seem more compassionate, compromising and cooperative.
Men seem more confrontational, combative, and other “C” words, like crass and crabby.
I am debating whether or not to change my profile photos on various social networking sites to more accurately reflect my “true self.” At least as others sometimes see me, or I think that they do. Oh, that is confusing. Here are some possibilities:
I guess any of these could represent my “True Self.” Umm, maybe not Clint. I am still waiting for him to accept my Facebook Friend Invite.

Blog on blog on blog on!
So, I congratulated you on your one year anniversary and now on your 350 posts. Here is to many more to come. Keep writing because I don’t know about you, but sometimes it seems to be the only thing that keeps me sane (or so I think, I could be wrong).
Once again congrats!
By the way… love the pictures.
