Bored and Drunk by Oliver Perry Rauch (click image to enlarge) |
Today is my blogiversary. Flares into Darkness turns 21 years old. It occurs to me the blog is now old enough to drink, so I assume it will be off on a bender tonight. Hopefully it will have a designated driver, so it doesn't end up on the side of the road making a fool out of itself doing a field sobriety test. And, if that should happen, we can only hope the body cam footage doesn't end up on the internet.
As for Flares, it started out as a group blog, but gradually, one by one, the other posters drifted away. At one time it was largely dormant with me posting very erratically, only once every couple of months. Eventually, for reasons even I can't fathom, I started posting more regularly. It also used to be more focused on politics and current events, but I think other sites do a much better job than I of covering such matters, so I just focus on whatever amuses me: art on Sunday, music on Friday, and whatever catches my eye on Wednesday.
That's the state of this blog today. I thank my small cadre of regulars that drop by, and I hope that the visitors who wander in are at least momentarily entertained by my nonsense. Have a good one all.

Sorry for being tardy in my congratulations, Ambi. You have been and are doing a great job with the blog. 21 years... seems like yesterday. All the best to you and yours.

Heya Luther, glad to see you drop by. I hope all is well with you.
I try to drop by once a week or so - you always have something interesting posted. I'm fine but my wife of 48 years passed 5 months ago today. Getting old sucks but as they say better than the alternative.
Luther
Sorry to hear about your wife. Yea, I also have old age creeping up on me. One nice thing, life passes you by so you can just enjoy things one day at a time.
