Never name your children after a parent!
I have my email setup so that I get the local paper as email links. All that gets sent to me directly is the headings of each and every published article. If the heading looks good, I can click on the link and the full article opens up in a browser. I like this feature as it has kept me from having the paper delivered and the news is fresh.
To accomplish this you need installed a RSS news reader. Once installed and you understand how to set it up, the news will be ready and waiting for you every day.
Now getting back to my title.
I was reading the local paper and finally got around to todays OBIT's. Normally I just scroll through the days listings, reading names and hoping that mine is not listed. Today one caught my eye, so I stopped to read more about the gent and who he was.
This guy was a local boy, and in reading his obit it appears he had a great life. He was born in the late 30s, spent 20 years in the navy and then was self employed as an accountant. He belonged to so many organizations that I do believe that part was the largest paragraph. “Net Net”-- I was impressed, but somewhere along the line, he never achieved one thing.
You see his name was listed in the paper as Charles B. Grogen Jr. age 67. I wonder why he never made it to SR. status. Was his dad still alive? I just have this vision of him sitting at the retirement village and how confused everyone must be when someone would holler out-- JUNIOR!
