I'm in New Mexico today. Fran and I are visiting our daughter and granchildren. Grandson is playing JV football Monday night.
Weather is different here. It was hot and humid in Little Rock when we left. Up here, chamisa and mountain asters are blooming. The air is dry and we have a fire in the grate tonight. When I finish this, I'll join my son-in-law in watching football on TV.
Our children and grandchildren are sources of both great pride and casual disappointment to me. On the one hand, they work hard, have good lives and are, in the main, content. On the other, their domestic lives are chaotic. Thus, as a father, I worry that the contentment will not last.
I've said this to others. Children don't have less or more problems when they grow up. The problems just become more "interesting" (read more complex and harder to solve.) I suspect that most parents want to solve their children's problems for them, or at least give them good advice on how to deal with things.
I've given my share of advice, some of it even good. Sometimes, the kids follow my suggestions. All in all, not a bad track record.
Time for football!

The occasional thoughts and musings of Steve
INTRODUCTION TO WHAT FOLLOWS
Welcome to my "BLOG".
Beginning this was a snap decision. There are some things that are sufficiently important or funny that I want to share. These are sometimes affairs. Such things tend to be thin on the ground, which means I wont post daily, perhaps not even weekly.
You shouldn't expect profound thoughts or philosophies. As I get older, I find that I have fewer thoughts, shallower too. I have never claimed to be a deep thinker, nor do I believe myself to be subtle.
If this sounds dull or jejeune, please turn away. But if you elect to continue, Thank You. I look forward to your comments.

Introduction
Welcome to my "blog".
Beginning this was a snap decision. There are some things that seem sufficiently important or funny that I want to share. That means that I won't post daily, perhaps not even weekly.
You probably shouldn't expect profound thoughts or philosophy. As I get older, I find that I have fewer thoughts and my thinking has never been deep or sobtle.
So, gentle reader, if that sounds dull, please turn away. But if you continue to read, thank you.
