I really need to listen more carefully to my friends. When I made the rash decision to change the name of the blog I received an email from my friend Callie with this bit of advice:
“Winding Down is kind of like Old and in the Way; I’m an old dude and my life is spiraling downward, but I’m still doing stuff.Now. Step back and be a reader. Which would you choose to check out? A guy who’s doing things he thinks are strange/interesting or a desperado waitin’ for a train? The desperado’s in there, no doubt, as it is in all of us, but why call it out into the open? “
How can I argue with that type of logic? My Strange Life has been restored as the rightful title of this website. Callie even provided lyrics for an unwritten song which needs a melody and more verses.
Don’t like the name I chose todaybut it’s my blog anywayI can change the name every dayTill I get it rightIf you’re not likin’ what you readthere’s a key it says ‘delete’Click it right into “Trash”It won’t put up a fightThe Universe I do believegot somethin’ better up its sleeveCause if you got no nameYou can be anyone at all

Yes when I saw your Blog name I have to admit it sounded sort of depressing to me, especially for someone like with so much life in him. I like the new name, good choice. 👌
