The Septuagenarian

During the previous incarnation of this website I published a series of blogs in support of my novels as well as some relevant (or perhaps irrelevant) opinion pieces. After embarking on my eighth decade on this planet I began a series of pieces that I labeled The Septuagenarian in acknowledgement of that milestone.

Published under the same title, The Septuagenarian book is a compilation of those pieces that I thought worthwhile in preserving, if not for others, perhaps just for my progeny. I included several pieces which were meant mostly for them, but when I read them illuminated life as it was for me in the 1950s and 1960s. Those readers of the same vintage may find that they ring a bell.

The other section that is of more recent vintage is entitled Geezer Golf. As you might expect, Geezer Golf deals with the trials and tribulations of my return to a game that I never took time to learn when my body was supple and perhaps more trainable than it is now. Nonetheless, I have related true stories (with names changed to protect the guilty) of my experiences endeavoring to chase a tiny green ball up and down the hillsides of Northeast Georgia.

A last note to this book is that it is, alas, not the last of The Septuagenarian series. There is on my computer approximately fifty-thousand word already compiled for the Part Deux edition.
