Why I decide to blog

Prior to this I have never blogged, never twitted, never had a facebook account and generally considered such activities as, well, not for me. When I waas still working, I had an E-mail address that was set up and operated by my secretary. She would send out what I needed to (I dictated the text) and twice a day, she would check my mail box. If there is anything, she would print them out for me. I am not totally computer illiterate though and do know how to use spreadsheets, word processing, presenttion tools and data base applications. But I never could understand all the excitement about e-mails, facebooks, tweeters and blogs. When they are in my house, my children and their spouses would all be seated at/around my dining table each with their laptops. For hours on end. Seems like an obsession, an addiction. And now, my wife too has joined the facebook brigade. So now at the age of 62 I have decided to learn to blog. Maybe I too can learn to enjoy it, and maybe slow the onset of rust in my brain. Physical energy, I don't have much left. Even golf, is too exhausting. But time, I have aplenty.
