A Pondering Mind

A little of this. A little of that.


Tuesday Afternoon

Tuesday afternoon also a song back in the 1970’s sung by the Moody Blues can still hear the song in my head like I was being transported back in time …with that said often wondered would want to back to those days and before that which would be the 50s & 60s … sure there was some good times mixed in with the not so bad the really bad … well I have mixed feelings about it so suffice me to say would probably just sit back and reminisce about the days of yore …some of the people I got to know have left this planet in different ways some I miss greatly and then there’s the ones no great loss …then there are the ones that moved away to different towns and different states …even most of my closest relatives live out of state but I elected to stay where I am in Massachusetts the state I was born  and raised in …anyways I have my books plenty of them which will keep me entertained and the mind sharp so the brain doesn’t go into dry rot …also I like to do crosswords online and ink on paper the digitals ones I do on The Boston Globe and The Washington Post some of the puzzles can be real head bangers but most of the time I will manage to solve them even if it takes me a awhile …back to what I like to read are mostly fiction essays and toss in some memoirs …speaking of memoirs the book I am currently reading is Townie by Andre Dubus III … its about growing up in the Greater Haverhill and Newburyport area the life he lived was very adventurous and violent …his father was a professor and writer a couple of his book I read many years ago …then there are the books that I have started reading like short stories, essays which I go back to from time to time I could go on but I’ll leave it right here

ciao

  2. That’s a great song. I was obsessed with it for a little while for its ability to seemingly transport you to other places.

      1. No doubt about it. 🙂 Just started a new biography on Frida Kahlo. The cover is gorgeous. I have so many books waiting to be read. How wonderful is that! If there is an afterlife, I hope it has bookstores. LOL Supposedly we’re just energy so maybe we can plug into kindles. Hahahaha
