400

There is a movie on TV with the title 300. It's about 300 Spartans who fight an enemy against overwhelming odds and naturally they all die at the end of the movie.

The title of today's blog is 400. That is not about 400 warriors fighting against the enemy but it means that today is the 400th edition of this blog since I decided started to write it.

I am truly amazed by my accomplishment! This is a respectable amount of nonsense I was able to conjure up and write about. Too bad I can't make a living out of it.

But since life goes on every single day there is no lack of subjects big and small to write about. Sometimes I have to think hard to find something of interest but mostly it is easy.

I try very hard not to insult anybody but if somebody happens to take what I write personally I apologize because I assure you it was unintentional.

October 13, 2009 was the day the first blog was written. Life looked a lot more promising at that time than it turned out to be. OK, we were both unemployed but since we were also retired life was not that bad. We both had hopes for an easy and nice life ahead of us. Little we knew what was waiting in the wings!

But things happened and life continued to go on and as hard it is sometimes I still want to continue writing this. Sometimes just to vent my feelings even if nobody reads it.

In conclusion I wholeheartedly accept my congratulations to me on this small amount of achievement.
