As I was growing up, I remember supporting the local professional football and baseball teams and carried that competitive spirit throughout most of my early life... following both football and baseball and soon added basketball after becoming aware of Michael Jordan.
Around the age of 50, I lost interest in sports both on the college and professional levels for some reason... maybe it was all that early exposure to sports that did me in but whatever it was, I pretty much stopped paying attention cold turkey.
Nothing really replaced sports but I did become involved in watching SciFi shows on cable along with a variety of different series. What bothered me about series was that you had to wait until the next year to watch the next season. So, I would wait until all seasons had been recorded and would watch them straight through which came across more like a movie than a series.
But like everything else, I grew tired of SciFi and Series and stopped watching everything on cable or WIFI except the news and maybe a few cooking shows.
About this same time I got interested in creating blog and posting articles to them... actually, I started posting article on LinkedIn and Facebook first. At one time, I had 4 blogs and then condensed them down to two... one where I would publish poetry and the other one where I would publish journalistic articles on a variety of subject about which I had an interest.
I maintain these two blogs daily and when I am not doing that, then I am usually writing novels, I have completed 7 with two that are 50% and 80% complete. A chapter outline for my 10th novel is written and ready to begin but I have lost interest in writing once we decided to downsize... that activity has occupied all my time for a couple of months.
Maybe tomorrow I return to writing, I tell myself.
