few days ago, I wrote that I wouldn’t be posting too often, but writing is good for the soul. There are always things I wish I could have done, should have done, earlier, sooner, promptly. These are the classic words of a procrastinator. I am president of our local chapter.

For me
in the twilight years,

Y
ou may have noticed that I haven’t been posting very much lately, and I haven’t been able to visit your sites as well. I feel terrible about it especially since you are all special to me. Anyway, circumstances have and will continue to keep me away from Xanga. I will probably talk about it when [...]
A
post from last week reminded me how few of my readers either are not interested in sports or follow other sports more closely. Oh well, too bad for me. But being a sports fan is one aspect that defines me. I love American sports. And while there are those who will disparage games such as [...]
I
was surprised by some of the interest in the Senryu poetry. While I expected people who participated to comment, many who did not participate wanted to try there hand at it, as well. While reading and commening takes time this is a labor of love for me, and I don’t mind. As long as you [...]

I
just found out that I have been nominated for another Xanga contest, Best of Xanga. What does this mean? Beats me, except that somebody must like to read my site. If you’re interested in casting a vote for me, go to itsjustmargie. Since Margie deletes the comments of those who nominate/vote, I don’t know who [...]
I
t occured to me that part of my last entry was obscure. Sorry. Family issues can sometimes be too complicated to put into words, and I’ll leave it at that. Things are up in the air for the moment, but if and when they settle down, I’ll probably write about it. But for now, the [...]
A
gain, life’s little crises are building up and I have to take care of business. I”m sure that you all know that I would MUCH rather spend my time with you here on Xanga, but some responsibilities take precedent over Xanga, and you can rest assured that they would have to be pretty important for [...]
