My brother Bob really could write---it came so naturally---I work at it.  He wrote gobs of stuff, pubished locally and otherswise, Saturday Review of Books and had a column that went on and on for  years.  It was entitled Brugger's Boring Banter Or How Local Can A Yokel Get.   I've stollen the word Banter from my Brother Bob" really good copy.  I hope in the heavens above he's not offended.

This is my first non helped attempt to blog, no I'm not a slob, just a beginning blogger, HI!  My delightful daughter Jessie B has bequeathed to me the ability to blog assistance free.  She's a smile-filled wonder in my life, today set to return to NYC, the City she loves.  We, her mother and I, love her so.  And really in truth love her where she is and who she is, a wonder to us.  Thanks Lord for her in our lives.  Deo gratias!

A Point of View

A Point Of View

by Dick Brugger

Banged-in fenders are someone’s concern

Not me.  For the moment I’m dent free

and to my knowledge don’t owe a dime.

Have some money in the bank.  Freedom

to go to Puyallup or Cincinnati, wander along

Soos Creek, stay home, rob the refrigerator,

do the Times crossword puzzle.

Have oodles to worry about should I work at it.

Could enter into a frenzy thinking about the

endless possibilities of fatality,  ponder

the world debt or the flux of the market,

fuss with my lawn, calculate disaster

or plaster myself with molasses which we had

hoped to use to make bread

should I think of it.

A Beginning

With the assistance of my beloved daughter Jessie Bee I Begin this venture.
