As Ian Sees It

We are closing in on the last half of January.  I don't do the New Years resolution thing any more cause frankly,  new years resolutions just made me feel like there was one (or several) more things on which I missed the mark.  And that feeling would always sink in right about this time of year.  The third Monday in January is indeed a significant day:  On that day every year regular Gym goers get the use of their equipment back from the thousands of people who have spent on millions of dollars on annual gym memberships that were used about four to six times.  Since I gave up the resolution thing, I have been a far more glass is half full type a guy.  Well except to when it comes to beer.  Come to beer the glass is full or it isn't.  And apparently that is okay.  I mean a fondness for beer certainly won't stop you from...Oh I don't know.......say......getting appointed to the U.S.S.C.   (The odd cheap shot still sneaks out).   ...

  Well it's been awhile.  And perhaps we could all share a laugh at my expense.  I lost my old blog.  However a very good friend who is your neighbourhood retired I.T. guy helped me research a new place, with a new name so I could continue my online therapy.  That was three weeks ago.   And in those three weeks I have sat here in front of my computer only to discover the one thing my Mac and I have in common........ Blank screen and a blank mind.      I have never felt so blocked.    My I. T. guy is away at the moment.  We will be seeing him soon and there are a host of things he can assist in making this whole thing a little more normal.   For instance,  When I was going through the whole composition menu, I typed the title first.  Nothing wrong with that,  but then I noticed under the title line was a "Bold" button.  So I thought "what the heck" and clicked on Bold.  For the life of me I a can't ...

                                 And Off We Go    January 5th 2023    Here I am in my new place.  Relocated by stubborn Danish techno meanies who took my old simplesite blog and shut me out.  I live at Blogger, com now and soon I will figure out how to share on facebook.  I can't use accordingtoian any more.   I am born again with the new moniker As Ian Sees It.  I need to learn some things.  Simple things I have never been able to understand such as Cutting and pasting.  But hey, at this age we have often heard people being accused of entering a second childhood.  Looks like I'm in for a little schooling.  Maybe I'll learn something this time.    I doubt anyone will ever see what is happening here and now.  But on the outside chance you do,  This could be cool.     No pretty pages,  no counter, none of t...
