really...it's my first time

where to start?

I often have these deep thoughts...quickly countered by, who really gives a rat's ass? I wish I had the drive to live up to all that I could be...quickly followed by, "Who gives a rat's ass?" So with this first Blogg, I will dive into Harry Patch. When I first heard that Harry patch died my thoughts were of a shaving industry running amuck. Then I read about this guy...he was England's last WWI veteran. He only started talking about his memories when he was 100...that gave him 13 years to relive the horrors of trench warfare. I know he must have taken a fair bit of abuse for his name...but he probably did so with good humor. I mean, how do you live to 113 and be sour tempered...that'd be cruel.

OK, so I've busted my Blogg cherry...and ironically I did so thinking about Harry Patch...ironic!
