Hello World :0)

I've been encouraged to be more social on the net. This is my attempt to become a more well known, and hopefully, a likable character. So.....here goes....something about who I am.

I awoke one morning, not long ago, thinking of that place in my life that we all remember. Standing at that point on the eternal time-line, with paths radiating in all directions and the all to loud question ringing through my head.... "What are you going to do with the rest of your life"? The discussions with my parents were ongoing and seemed eternal. Everything was possible. I chose Domestic Engineer. A career that left me amazingly confused and sad to be happily tired.

When I became a little more fully awake I could hear the patter of the grandchildren downstairs. In that moment it all became a blur, I was pulled along the time-line by some unseen hand and plopped, unceremoniously, on the edge of the bed listening for the inevitable footfalls on the stairs. It's all about those little feet jumping, hopping and dancing through my life........Oh yeah, and then there's the drummin'......sigh

Why we have the Second Amendment.

To quote President George Washington "an armed man is a citizen, an unarmed man is a subject". The free man has the right to bear arms to protect himself and others from tyranical governments including their own and, if called for all abled bodied men to gather in the common defense of their country bringing their weapons with them. Yes some of this is paraphrasing however, Washington did indeed say these things.
