Well, this is my first journal.  It is mostly for me, but it it partly for you and my VA person that visits every week.  She told me to start a journal.    This is odd for me because it doesn't seem natural if I am not structuring and / or .....rhyming.    I recently lost all my online friends since early 2007 because of my volatile reactions to politics.   We don't need to go into that.   I am in no condition for revolutionary activity, and I always maintained that I wasn't.   ( perhaps it was my persuasive rhetoric!)  HE HE HE ,........ My velvet tongue oft imitates my persuasive pen, and I become the proverbial gadfly.   I am angry, but willing to hold my tongue.
