I'm doing 42 things
I have toyed with this in my mind for too many years. Time to make it happen. I think I can do one worth reading.
I have started a small social experiment in regards to this blog. I left a few interesting items behind in the wilderness in which I backpacked recently. On the sketch that I left, which was sealed in plastic, I wrote a title to the sketch. That title is my blogs title. I will be interesting to see, if it raised enough curiosity, for someone to want to research what was left behind online.

How I did it
It made me
too funny to delete 
How I did it: and I kept this posted, as a constant reminder, to use spell check....since someone politely, over a year ago pointed out , that it is quit not quite making so many mistakes..... Read how I did it…
It made me
happy 
How I did it: but I have come as far right now on this goal, as possible,... maybe once the weather gets warmer, and the flea markets start again...I will start this goal again Read how I did it…
It made me
still a goal
How I did it: but I am putting it on the back burner for now..to make way for some New Years Resolution,,,,Tomorrow at midnight, starts a brand new year..I hope, I meet some of my new goals here.......and maybe once I do, I can add the old ones, that I did not acheive, back to my list Read how I did it…

The last thing I wanted was the added responsibility of another dog.
But there he was, all 100 lbs of him, black as midnight starring back at me, in a photo, on that dreaded site. Of course there was the ad..”moving, cannot take animals. Save this dog from the pound.” Free to a good home.” Maybe I was feeling sentimental, or maybe I just related to plight to the dog, to my own life. And I soon found myself in my car, driving to West Virginia to retrieve a dog that was too big for my back seat.
I thought, I had saved that dog that day. It wasn’t until he was here with us for a month or two, did I realize, that he saved me. Or maybe we saved each other.
He’s the reason for my brisk walks three times a day. I gentle paw on my lap, to remind me he needs some attention. A massive face in lap when I need something to hug.
He is also the reason, for buying 5 new pair of flip flops this summer. But if his only fault is chewing shoes. I can live with that!
I have been to Podcamp Pittsburgh, for almost 4 years now…I spend an entire day, with my favorite friend, that I don’t get to see often enough..wondering if we will ever apply what they are teaching us to our everyday life. After 4 years, well, I haven’t twittered, nor tweeted..nor Google plus.
I have sat silent, in a session, that is held by some of the best social media people, that get paid, big bucks, for doing what they love. And two days, out of a year, these young people, smart..brillant, take time out of their lives to share it with me, and my friend, and Pittsburgh, for free…
I may never blog, for profit..nor will I be some flaming outstanding blogger..but I know how to get started…they taught me…on their day off…
Information, knowledge,should be shared, at no cost….that’s what they taught me…I wonder if they realize, that was the best lesson I learned that day
