Introductions and Thoughts

Watching Senator Obama (who I do not trust, nor will I vote for) speak in North Carolina as I create this blog, carve out yet another space where I can reside on the Internet Highway. Like millions of others who have traveled life in close proximity to my own time line, I am a somewhat saddened and distrustful 50 something boomer wondering where America is going, and wishing I could cash in my chips and move some place to ride out the storm. We as a nation are in trouble, and the America of today is not the America I grew up loving and respecting. We seem to have lost our way, and sadly not sure we have the time required as a nation to find our way back again.

This blog will be a journal, it will be a free thinking space where you might find the hottest news story of the day, perhaps my own political rantings about a good nation gone bad. You might find a recipe for Dutch Apple Pie, a suggestion for a good Merlot, maybe some of my prose, drabbles and short stories. Simply stated, Boomerville Journal News is a online small town paper of sorts where the editor has the freedom to talk about, report about anything and everything knowing his loyal readers will always come back for more. To often I have launched themed blogs, boxed myself and my own creativity in by giving borders and limits to my thought, and those narrow contraints have seen me grow bored, abandoning project after project as I looked for more space, or some place that let me express the all of who I as a boomer am...it is my hope that this space free of limits and contraints, this place where no topic is taboo will give a permanent home to my words.
