As I went through the process with Create Space and Kindle it became apparent that they would not print it if I did not have my permissions in order. And much of it should be attributed to authors, song writers and photographers who are not me.

I am a copyright holder. I believe in Fair Use. I am old. I also believe that ... whatever.
However, there are items I would like to include in my 'book' that I do not own and am not going to ask permission to use.
The idea of having a booklet that I would like to distribute at my own funeral so that I could tell a couple stories is quite attractive to me.
And in March of 2015, on a whim, I searched the blog name and here we are - almost nowhere.
This will become a place for a few pictures, poems, songs, giggles, and maybe a pdf booklet can be prepped for that inevitable time.
