I have documented my daily life in poetry for over fifty years. It is only now that my knowledge of technology has met my ability to pursue this medium. It is all too overwhelming as I approach 60 years of age in an instant. Enjoy the ride and put your seat belt on...I am starting from now!

What Legacy?
What memories will I leave behind
When I leave this planet earth?
No pyramids or opuses,
Or any visible thing of worth!
Yet I may leave something so unseen,
As small as a single house fly.
The descendants of the few I let,
Get away from the swatter’s try.
Maybe I’ll leave just a beetle,
As my legacy to life beyond…
I once plucked his drowning father,
From a stagnate summer pond.

But you will leave valuable things behind. You'll leave this website, which is a story, if one can interpret it, of ourlife from 2009 to the present. Lots of opuses (or opera, if you want to be pedantic, which you don't; I like unusual plurals, don't you).
