First Blog

This is my first blog in 77 years. Actually its my second attempt this morning to publish but was distracted and it disappeared. What will I blog on? My opinion based on my experience and current activities. So I will start by my activities for to day, Sunday June 6.

I Made my first pot of coffee at 4AM. I use the morning to listen to news and read magazines. This sunday I didn't turn the The TV on till 5AM to listen to the Wall Street Journal report.

What did I learn, That the hotel business is coming back, but the convention resort business is in the "ditch".

I also read a very interesting article published in the "Blomberg Business Week" about how Duke Energy is involved in and supporting global warming legislation. It was interesting when the CEO of Duke testified in front of Congress, it was reported his enemies became his friends and friends became enemies. This reminded me of my corn grower days lobbying for ethanol when Senator Kit Bond of Missouri did not support Ethanol and Charlie Rangel, congressman from Harlem NY city supported ethanol. Go figure.

This is my new learn something new moment; a blog. So what will I blog about; anything that comes to mind. I will talk about travel, politics, economy, family events, Activities for Learning and just general comments on my seventy seven years of life.
