The First Blog Post...
If you're reading this, you made it through 2020. It was a rough ride for all of us. Although not over, Covid 19 has certainly left its mark. You can do your own personal inventory on the damage done. To show our resilience toward the “scourge”, it won't be too long before we Americans turn this tragedy into triumph by capitalizing on misfortune - hopefully for the greater good -- by creating mementos ranging from selling hinky T-shirts to dedicating hospital wings that honor true heroes of the pandemic. That's what we do. This wide-range display of human perception provides a coping mechanism that helps us battle human tragedy. So, welcome 2021!!
Looking for usefulness and realizing how tenuous life can be, my appreciation to be alive (as well as my age) gave me reason to create this blog as a promise made to myself, earlier in 2020. The fact that Covid lingered was a constant reminder that this project was still on my “bucket list.” Its undertaking is a symbol of personal growth and a testimony to my kids (and new grandson). Admittedly, it won't have the attention of a doctorate thesis, but the information presented will be as genuine as the experiences they were derived from; which means there's room for error and embellishment. That said, facts take precedent. Rest assured, the technical data presented will be thoroughly researched if not already observed.
But remember, the site is called Off Your Rocker, so I won't take myself too seriously by adding a lighthearted bent to my (and your) observations of the human condition and the wacky things we do.
Sooo, I look forward to any feedback or correspondence that will make this blog more informative and entertaining. Really, don't hold back. This is a work in progress.
