Intro

A long time ago I began writing the story of my life. I called it "How To Make Hash of Your Life". The title really should have been "How I Made Hash of My Life", for it was certainly not my intention to write a "how to" book. It was to be a combination recipe book and autobiography. It would be set up like a cookbook with chapters including Appetizers (the early days), In the Soup, Salad Days, Main Course and Just Desserts. I've been adding to it over the years, but somehow just never really got it together. This blog will contain some of the chapters from my "so called" book and some miscellaneous writings done for my Writer's Group, and what's going on now.

The final chapter "Just desserts" was to be all about how I ended up where I began this journey. Elizabethtown, PA. The place, when I was 18, I could not wait to get out of. Funny, fifty years later I could not wait to get back. And how happy I am to be living in this retirement community on the outskirts of E-town. I appreciate everything here so much more than I did when I was fresh out of high school. I have truly found peace here. Well, I did until the latest medical situation reared it's ugly head.
