"These are the times that try men's souls" (Thomas Paine)

.....Every now and then I get a nasty email from a friend or an enemy complaining that I didn't publish their comment to the latest post on my blog--and if you are not my friend--then I suppose you're my enemy.  Anyway writing a comment is the simplest of activities. You just write it at the bottom of the blog where it says "reply"; then click on the little blue box that says "Publish".  Get it. Then I get a copy in my email and that is where I get to decide whether or not to publish it. I publish anything and everything, so there is to be no complaining--just figure out how and where to write your comment!  If it doesn't get published, then you've done it wrong dummy!

 

.....Today is Monday and that is the venerable day that Rh+ goes a-bowling, and if you are in her way, you get knocked down--or if (perish the thought) she has a luncheon or a doctor's appointment or any other reason that keeps her from the bowling alley with her team, she gets grumpy.  So I wait in another room reading the Bible until she leaves.  The only way I get out of the house myself is it I have a doctor's appointment--or we go out for dinner.  I have no contact whatsoever with any of my friends. They've all passed on.

 

.....In the event that I get to put on a show in 2015 or 16, I just stay by the computer and do a lot of research.  My idea is to have the songs. popular to every generation that had or is having a war. I am looking for the names of every generation since the Revolution.  Suppose I will have to call that the Independence Generation and the Civil War kids, the Uncivil Generation. (tee-hee!). Then comes the Lost Generation, also known as the 1914 Generation whose youth fought in WWI. Tom Brokaw gave us The Greatest Generation whose veterans fought in WWII also known as the G.I. Generation whose children were born from around 1901 through 1924. They also went through the Great Depression. They were followed by the Baby Boomers, (1943-1960), Generation X or "Gen. X" (1960-1980), Millennials or Generation Y (1980-2000).And here we are smack in the middle of Generation Z (2000--) whose youth is now in college, I suppose. Now don't take the dates as hard face for they are not. Let's say they are estimates.                      "

 

.....I imagine that I will find a plethora of war tunes and pop tunes that entertained each Generation.  Now, I have to find skits for this show.  That's a challenge!
