   MY BLOG & US, STILL HERE!

       You need a license for

all kinds of things these days.

       I have a Driver's License,

a Fishing License and what you

might call an "Artistic License!"

       On April 22nd., 2011,

in a moment of insanity, I

decided to begin this Blog!

       I had officially

retired from the main stream

media. But I still had a desire

to write and had seen others

fulfill that ambition with a

blog. I wasn't sure if it would

be a weekly or a monthly

effort. But before I could give

it a second thought I was

authoring an essay every day!

     Most have been based on

personal events in my day to

day life. Some are prompted

by web sites where I have

found some very unusual

holidays that few people

know about.

     Occasionally over these

past 8 years I've repeated a

couple of my posts. That's

either because I find they are

well worth revisiting or

because my mind has gone

blank. Of course some would

say many of my original

writings suggest a blank mind

anyway!

      So here we are, six years

later with Blog number 2991!

       I got another License on

April 22nd. But that one came

50 years ago!

     It was my Marriage License!

My wife (then my fiancée), her

mom and I, showed up at the Luzerne

County Courthouse with the

required fee to get our license.

We needed her mom too because,

back then, you had to have a

parent's signature if you were

under 21. That didn't effect me.

I didn't even get carded!

      Fortunately my mother-in-

law to be agreed to sign and we

got our license.

      Hope it hasn't expired....and

that all your NEWS is good!
