Since August '07 according to Google, I've published 266 blogs. That's a lot of blogs. You try it. I began writing these things when I finished my book, "Memoirs of a Tail Gunner"...as an "addenda" to it, since my life didn't end at the last line of the book. I didn't even know what a blog was and some people still don't know. So, I went to the Wikipedia Encyclopedia and this is what I found:
A blog (a contraction of the term "Web log") is a Web site, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.

So, now I know what I've been writing for the past year, and so do you. I'm almost at the point where I have enough material to put into another book. We'll call it "Pater Noster in Condoland Vol.III." If you've been reading these blogs, you needn't buy the book. Nobody probably will, but it will go into my record, and when I pass on, I'll be my own blog. Perhaps one of my children or grandchildren will write a sequel blog. Who knows? Now what about my content? I don't think I'll write any more "political" blogs. Readers of mine know where I stand on this year's election by this time. I would like to see one more great historical event before I'm gone--and that would be the election of Obama, an African American man. What an American miracle that would be! However, if the other side wins, it'll be more of the same same...but much more to the right...and their VP,s views are so far right, she is definitely fascistic OK. I'll stop. Man! I can't handle this! It's too much.
This morning I did not sleep until 11:30 as usual; in fact I was up at 8:06 and out of the house with Rhoda at 8:36a.m. to drive her to the airport. She had the urge to visit her family in Merrick, and especially Ilana and Allyson...two soccer player grandchildren. Her plane most likely left on time because she called my cell phone from her window seat on the plane at 10a.m. Now, it's 11:30 and the cleaning crew is supposed to be here at 12:30. But that's OK...I have a 2 o'clock appointment with my shrink at the V.A. Her name is Zayas and she's Cuban. She is very good at what she does; and that's the kind of doctor I need. Tomorrow is a banner day...I get to begin my aquatic therapy--provided the pool is fixed--and at 4pm Robin is coming in for a visit until Tuesday. Rhoda is supposed to come home on Monday, but who knows? My last wife, after 25 years, went to California to visit her children and she never came back. Rhoda and I have been married now for 25 years, and perhaps that's about the limit any woman can take living with me. I never thought I was that bad...at least try to make it 50 so we can stand up on a cruise and get some applause at least. We would deserve it.

Norman, i hope you and Mom make it to 50 years too.
A mere 50? That's not nearly enough. Once Norman is waterboarded, he will get a new lease (rent controlled) on life, regain his health by losing a "few" pounds, and become even more of a curmudgeon.
If this were not your blog which entitles you to peace and comfort therein, I would, with enough time, correct some of the misinformation you have been fed.
At the very least, Barack Obama is NOT Martin Luther King. In fact, Martin Luther King was not Martin Luther King.
FDR liberals???? The man incarcerated all the Japanese on the West Coast even after the 442nd Regimental Combat Team proved itself.
He also tried to pack the Supreme Court because he did not like their decisions.
And, if he didn't like your politics, he ordered the IRS to investigate your income tax THOROUGHLY. Now THAT's intimidation.
The world is no longer a simple place. In fact, it never was.
Baron is not aware of any "mis" information that Norman has been "fed". Norman simply collects information and regurgitates what he doesn't approve of or believe in. That's his right. Now Phil B. (the self-proclaimed purveyor and human encyclopedia of "correct" information) should explain how he got all the "mis" information included in his own comment. Norman will not "bite" on this stuff. If not for FDR's GI Bill, Norman would be selling peanuts in a Mall kiosk and his four kids would be non existant. Let's just compare FDR with GWB. Hhmmmmm?
And by the way, people keep calling me "Norman" in their comments. Get used to the fact that this blog is sponsored by the Red Baron of Blogspot.com--a country of which he is the sole ruler. It is definitely NOT a democracy. It's more of--well--a Baroncracy.
