The concept: There was a time, not too long ago, when newspapers across the country would have @ least one columnist as pondered over the foibles and follies of the mundane ... the which were as much fun to read as they were probably fun to write on the part of the columnists themselves. All in all, providing a worthwhile distraction from the mundane and the distressing routine of the world-at-large. Especially when what the columnists wrote about related to what readers were experiencing themselves in their routine, sometimes bringing forth a smile to an otherwise gloomy state of affairs. This, basically, is what inspires Your Correspondent to go forth with The Blog That Am!, this newest (mis)adventure of Your Correspondent here on the Information Stuporbahn. A mixed bag of a blog inspired by the glory days of the great newspaper columnists and their stylee of writing, observing what Your Correspondent--an otherwise unemployable dyslexic on State Social Security--comes across in his mundane existance. Sometimes it may be political, sometimes it may be trivial, but all in all, expected to be a boon companion to your day. I hope you will like it. In any case, the blog is now up and running; see it for yourself if inteersted. And to keep up with the ongoing postings, be sure to subscribe to its RSS feed in such vehicles you prefer. Likewise with the online shopping, on its own dedicated page; the better to help support Your Correspondent as much as to help reduce the National Debt in the United States (in case you needed a clear and compelling cause to shop online for).
