Monday Again! ALL THINGS IRISH

Monday Again...

Another Blast From My Past..an unsent letter to the ether...I remind me  of the Moody Blues tune..."letters I've written, never meaning to send..."
A never published look back!

July 3, somewhat of an inauspicious beginning to a special month. I have certainly been blessed with a long life. Later this week, July 6, I turn 75! Yea me!! (Now 79 AND still lucid...Isn't life strange?...more Moody Blues! They still work well!)

I am almost to a place where I am content and accept my faults and realities. I'm in Redondo Beach, CA. Hanging out with friends and smoking a lot of pot. Tried vaping THC a bit, must admit, it is convenient but I seem to cough a lot, way too much. I won't be doing it again and can't recommend it; kind of a nasty nuisance from my perspective!  I am and remain a fan of my buds and flowers for joints or pipe smoking. I think, I'm going to look into a good bong at some point soon. A water pipe type maybe...any suggestions?

 I am going to start blogging again.  As mentioned here last Saturday, we kicked off our serious attempt at rebuilding the Irish Arts and Entertainment; which has gone better than we hoped so I am going to do my best at focusing on my All Things Irish Blog as another important facet of our Irish Outreach. 

I do think that I have something to offer my readers. I am a procrastinator. These exercises in blogging might help overcome that mighty flaw. You, dear reader can help. Help make this by commenting and sharing your thoughts with me. This Pandemic has led to a lot of isolation and loneliness all over the world. We can change that and this can be a small part of that action.
That is it for now. The Senior Stoner will be on hiatus. The Weed gods conspired against me and I ended up (for now) in South Carolina and pot is illegal here.
ALL THINGS IRISH is coming back as a weekly and for the first time ever, I am going to use it to try to sell subscriptions and raise money. We need help! We have an important and needed story to tell, in point of fast!...a million stories to tell!! We can't do it without the support of our readers.

Confessions without the breastplate

 I celebrated my 79th birthday in July so I am as qualified as anyone my age to have picked up some anecdotal and philosophical (perhaps whimsical) observations about being a stoner. Thus, I call myself the Senior Stoner aka The Pub Guy. I will be back soon with my weekly column. This is work in progress but it is long in coming and we have assembled a wealth of information that will enhance our readers ability to appreciate and enjoy the good and better balance the inevitable rough patches.

Blogging Again! Last Sunday, I posted this on Facebook, At the time, I was a bit rattled by my son Matthew who I love and respect a lot. He was upset and has been upset since Trump won the election. I live with my son and his wife, Chasity. It is an economic necessity at this point because of health and income issues that hit me badly last year. It is also hard on all of us because we are a group of strong minded and very different individuals and it is not easy to live in a small house with three adults. It is also a weird role reversal, having to abide by the rules of another household even one run by a decent kid and his wife is not a walk in the park. That fact alone would make it a challenge but the really hard part is coping with my son's angst over the current political landscape. To the point now, it hit me that I would be much better off if I started getting involved in a project that would get me thinking and focusing on something else rather than stewing in my own jui
