I find that after-work fatigue and family tend to occupy the time I might otherwise spend writing, or at least reading and thinking so that I have something to write about.<BR/><BR/>I saw that you also are a fan of William F. Buckley. I didn't really know who he was until I was in college and discovered that one of my closest friends there was his nephew (F. Reid, Jr.). I still am amazed at how much all the Buckleys look like each other.Ecce Quam Bonumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17667249873535099192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129944.post-56508370468584293332008-03-02T20:04:00.000-05:002008-03-02T20:04:00.000-05:00Thanks for your comment.

In my case I have had both for five years, having taken early retirement after thirty-five years in management and slogging along in an hourly job in order to have health insurance. <BR/><BR/>(Thanks to a great blessing I am about to begin a new job more fitting to my skill set and I expect my discretionary time to get pinched. The challenge may also make blogging tiresome because I expect my new job to be less tedious than the one I'm leaving.)<BR/><BR/>Do look around and feel free to leave comments. As the profile says, most of my traffic is from searches (i.e. strangers) and I don't get many comments from kindred spirits.Hootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01108363655472450828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129944.post-45204787450369165002008-03-02T18:51:00.000-05:002008-03-02T18:51:00.000-05:00I found your blog via a search on Lee Buck and am ...I found your blog via a search on Lee Buck and am very pleased indeed. We seem to be interested in many of the same things and have a similar point of view on some essentials.<BR/><BR/>Although you probably are more my older brothers' age (I'm only mid-50s), I definitely am a child of the 60s. I know well what a Skinner box is and was forced to read 'Walden Two' by my major professor, one of Skinner's grad students (and a kook in his own right).<BR/><BR/>I grew up in an Episcopal rectory and crossed the Tiber back in 1983 when I saw where things were headed in TEC. Now I am an Eastern rite Catholic, a place where former Episcopalians seem to feel very much at home if my own congregation is any indication.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to browsing through your archive and exploring your links. I started a weblog back in the fall but soon realized I don't have the time, or more likely, the discipline or desire, to keep it going on more than a very intermittent basis. <BR/><BR/>Best wishes.Ecce Quam Bonumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17667249873535099192noreply@blogger.com
