I am sitting at my computer, casually dressed with blue jeans, a collared tee shirt, tennis shoes and socks, with my hair in a pony tail. I am a blogger, to tell the truth, and every day I write for multiple hours at my notebook keyboard. Now the real point of this post is to answer another question I have never asked:
DO YOU EVER WRITE SERIOUS POSTS IN YOUR PAJAMAS OR EVEN JUST UNDERWEAR?
Truth is that I am an early riser and do my best writing when my mind is fresh. That I blog does not mean that I am not serious, careful, ethical or responsible. I just do not get paid or use my actual name as my byline. Perhaps I should use my own name. Many more people are doing so these days.
And the writing has never been hampered by my nightgown and terry cloth robe. I don't think so, at least. But I do not ever, as we bloggers were grouped and accused of yesterday on C-SPAN, "blog from my basement in my underwear." Perhaps I should always get up, get dressed and groomed before sitting down to do a heavy political post. But at this point it is not necessary because the post you are reading here will not include a webcam video. Nor can you see me as I write.
You can only imagine what I am like. I am a rather youthful 71, with natural brown hair, hazel eyes and modern small oblong lensed glasses, a few freckles and age spots on my hands and arms, and a ready smile. I am a bit over 5' 2" and a bit over-weight, a size 14 petite, actually. I was born and raised in the West and eventually trained as a clinical social worker, another name for a counselor. I am happily married for 50+ years, have four grown children and six grandchildren, who all live within driving distance of our house for holidays.
I am Liberal, Democrat, Episcopalian (backsliding), good at English and barely adequate in Math. So what qualified me to blog? I prepare, I read widely, I check my facts and cite my sources, and I am passionate about politics. And I am a bit creative, which is what Making Good Mondays is for.
Thanks for stopping by and visiting. I am glad you could stay because I am dressed for the day.

Hi betmo. Maybe we do need web cams. Though for me, it would certainly not increase my fan mail! ;).
Thanks for stopping by, my friend.
