Just a note of explanation now that i have sent out a mail to all my friends and family about this blog. I have a wide variety of friends from a wider variety of ideologies. What this means to you, gentle reader (don’t ya love Miss Manners?), is that some of you will wonder why there isn’t more church stuff, or more political stuff, or more writing stuff, or more funny/weird stuff and while you are wondering about that, the other people will be wondering exactly the opposite, e.g., why so much church or politics, or who cares about the difference between a trochee and an iambus and if he’s such a big-time, fancy-schmancy writer, why does he use ridiculously long, yea, verily even, run on, sentences? One of the other cool thing about these guys (blogdrive.com) is that you can have more than one blog under the same account, so, for example, Carter could do one on nothing but the 2nd amendment and one on beer and one on the Cavalry or just do one that has stuff about all three from time to time. Oh, and i MUST clarify one other thing. I really am not a big-time writer. I have had a couple of very minor pieces printed in a vanity press. This is where this exercise is supposed to come in handy. I get to practice on my friends and relatives and any total stranger that happens to stroll by. Anyway, thanks again to all of you for being patient and if you have any questions or something you really want to know about, let me know. Since there are some people that know me and my family well and others know little or nothing I think I will just list off the players and jump in. As time goes on you will get to know more about each of them. The people that live in my house with me are: The Actors Margaret: My wife of 24 1/2 years Grandma Pike: Margaret’s Mom who has lived with us about 23 yrs. Abigail: My 13-year-old daughter Tabitha: My 15-year-old daughter Elizabeth: My 18-year-old daughter Snoopy: Our dog that used to lie on top of his house, but not on his back. Fraidy Cat, Fee-Fo, and The Wintergreen Witch: the cats Blue Sky and Rainbow: The parakeets Roo Boom-Boom Thiel: A very large white rabbit Me Other Players Benjamin: My 21-year-old married son Isabel: His very nice, nobody knows how he got to be so lucky as to get a nice girl like that, wife. Baby Thiel: The coming grandbaby A wide variety of supporting cast and characters Ashley, Wendy, Ben-Down-The-Street, Ben-Next-Door, The Simonses, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Ray Bradbury, Douglas Adams, Robert Heinlein, William Shakespeare, Louis L’Amour, Edgar Allen Poe, Fibber McGee and Molly, Abbott and Costello, The Shadow, The Saint, Mowgli, and many others. The Scene A house in a neighborhood near Fort Carson, CO, across the street from Pikes Peak Community College and about 3 miles from the church, the store and the bank. Now that the introductions are out of the way, I suppose the best way to do this is just start writing, but since I have used up all of the last couple of mornings preparing to blog, I have to go now, but more will be on the way, so stay tuned! Okay, here is the truth about that fateful day in, oh, what, 1978 or 1979 when Carter King's pinball machine was tilted.
