Here it is Aug of 07 and nothing has been published since Sept of 06. How dedicated is that. I have decided that I am going to come out and go public ! Does that scare you ?
Now that you are over the shock what I mean is that I am going to make the blog public. I really doubt that anyone who comes here besides family is not likely to return. Here is how you get to it: www.startingat70.blogspot.com.
As you can see I was 70 when this all started. I did not have any real objective in the beginning. For some time now I have been thinking how neat it would be to read something my grand father was doing on any particular day in his life, or that of my great great grandfather. I never knew either of my grandfathers. One died before I was born and the other when I was 1 year old. I have decided to chronicle some of the days of my life so that in the year 2056 when Ethan is 50 years old ( I will either be gone or 121 years old) , you can stop laughing now, if he wants to he can see what was happening in his grandpas day.
The only problem with this is not knowing what will be the medium of communications then. Will this computer thing have gone the way of the cassette. Will they be asking "what was a vcr tape". I guess it will be up to you Moms and Dads to preserve whatever is written in these pages.
If Ethan is able to read this when he is 50 that would be the same as my being able to read something my great grandfather wrote in 1915. He was John Wesley Collier b:1855 I do not have the date of his death. He would be Ethan's GGGG Grandfather.
Well I guess thats enough for a new beginning. Talk with you all later. Next week NAGS HEAD. Hooray.

I never knew there was a John Wesley Collier! Bill came up with the name Wesley. I didn't even like it at first. We cut a deal, he got to name our son Wesley if I got to use the middle name Collier. Strange, isn't it?
