Another is that humans are ruining their (and our) environment and they cannot adjust fast enough. But because they are necessary for the web of life and are so beloved by humanity, there are conservation efforts to try to help them flourish again. This goes for blog writers, too.<br /><br />You say that you write about entertainment and that its focus on younger people makes it much harder to find things to write about. Well, as with the birds singing that brightens our dreary days, so does your blog. It informs our days and points out the shortsightedness in the entertainment industry. If ever there was a need for an elder statesman of the entertainment industry to point this out - IT IS NOW! Sorry for the caps - I'm getting worked up now.<br /><br />I love your stories whether it is your walks to the coffee shop or your adventures wrapping boxes for a Princess. I want to hear how your latest piano piece is coming and about your grandchildren. And if you won't continue your struggle for blog post subjects for us, do it for them. Do you want to doom them to a life of 6 seasons of shows like <i>2 Broke Girls</i> and never-ending origin stories of Marvel characters?JEDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07538398157297345338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-30712940479529584632019-11-14T07:21:39.426-08:002019-11-14T07:21:39.426-08:00"A regular person thinks about things and the..."A regular person thinks about things and then writes about them." <br /><br />Sounds like you are contemplating a second retirement.<br /><br />I guess the question is what would you do with the time that opens up if you stop. Is there something more satisfying out there that you would start doing? Since you can’t stop thinking about things, the only change you would be making is to stop writing. How about cutting back with re-runs on the days when you need a break. There are over 3000 posts to choose from.<br /><br />My mornings start with coffee, the ever thinner Toronto Star and your blog. I’m not sure I’m up for any change in that routine. <br /> <br />FFShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12957594809079628577noreply@blogger.com
