Eight yeeee-ars laaaaaaater...

You have Sars at the inimitable Tomato Nation (tomatonation.com) to blame thank for this post. 

Every so often, that post of hers about standing in line at the Post Office, being trolled by the maddening lyrics to "Soldier Boy" and how it would be cool if this guy she knew had a hen as a pet -- the post containing the classic "What of it? What of my hen?" line -- that post nags at my conscience and, not unlike how a demonic Stephen King voice would sound, says "Read me. Read me. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeead meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..." 

So I lost myself in the brilliance that is Tomato Nation and remembered that I, also, still have a blog. 

This blog is in no way as genius as anything Sars produces, but every once in a while I like it. Oh, yeah. Also, I am now semi-retired -- not by choice, really -- so I have a little more time on my hands and my life has changed in ways I never planned for. Except that I apparently did plan for it, since I can be semi-retired after socking away enough to keep from becoming that relative or friend who couch surfs in lieu of having a real home. But more on that in a future post. 

Here's my plan for things going forward here at Rekkidblogga, Inc. Since I've spent time in the past contributing to agendas and listening to agendas and growing to hate the idea of agendas, this is not going to be an agenda. Except that it kind of is. Sorry. 

We will discuss wholly random things that do include the following:
  • Cooking
  • Collecting things
  • Things I like
  • Things I dislike
  • My dog, Twister 
  • Classic TV
  • YouTube
  • Books
  • Landscaping and gardening
  • Writing and writers
  • Proper use of the semicolon (I'm serious)
  • Why it is always right and proper to despise the Oxford Comma (seriously, I'm serious)
  • Why it is always right and proper to never use the word "very" in writing (you better believe I'm serious)
  • Being from God's Country, aka The American South
  • Music, music, music
  • Soap operas
  • Mid-century Modern Everything
  • Beer
  • ... and so much more!
We will not discuss the following:
  • Politics
So here we are and I'll see all three of you soonishly. Unless I once again forget that I have this blog.
