Thanks much to my readers. It’s been another solid month at FREE WHITEWATER. Despite traveling unexpectedly and being away for a week this October, traffic to the site has been high, and up again over the prior month.
I wrote recently that I have “grown old in this beautiful city.” That’s true of everyone – no one is getting any younger. I’m not lacking for energy, though, and I have many email messages to thank for the fact. For every message I publish, I’ve received many more, and it’s impossible to be old with so many messages (favorable or unfavorable). Some have been heart-breaking, yet even then, those writing have offered me more than I could ever give back to them.
I’ll try my level best, though: Give back I will. This is a site of personal commentary, about life in our small, but troubled, community. It’s written from one common man’s perspective. I’ve written what I believe to be true, or funny, or beautiful about Whitewater. I’ve not hemmed or hawed, or trimmed my sails, to please a few stodgy, our-way-and-only-our-way-forever people.
The best, hardest work lies yet ahead.
Thanks for stopping by – there’s more on the way.
