Where Do I Begin, Maybe The Name?

Now maybe to some, the idea that choosing a name for a blog would be a very simple thing to do. For someone like me it was a long and thoughtful process. My first idea was, "Mature Adult", the idea came from what I told my grandson, Jayden, how he had to address me concerning age. One time he was joking and said I was old. I immediately corrected him and stated people like Pop Pop were not old, we were mature adults. That has become our phrase. The problem with that idea, was if you put mature adults on the web search, several porno sites come up, no pun intended, on the browser. Next came a series of ideas like, John, thinks he knows best, Pop Pop thinks he knows best, the Emperor of Estrella Dr, and the Emperor knows best. When I asked the Empress of Estrella Dr, also known as my lovely wife, Pat, what she thought I quickly received, the look. For those of you wondering what the look is, most husbands are very familiar with it. If you ever watched the TV show, "Everybody Loves Raymond," it is the look Deborah always gave Ray along with the comment, "You're an idiot." So this is the look I received from the Empress and with her help I decided on the above title.
    Anyone that knows me, knows that first of all, I always have an opinion and I am not shy about sharing it. Secondly I have this, "small," tendency to believe that I am always correct. Even if I suspect that what I just said is not correct I will debate and try to convince everyone that it most certainly is right.
     During the months and years ahead I will share stories about what has shaped my thought process, what I have learned along the way and what I believe will come in the future. My hope is that it will be humorous and funny. I also hope that each of my readers will share their stories. This is meant to be lighthearted and quirky. Irreverent, silly ( which I am very good at) and just plain fun. This will be a contrast to the more serious political blog that I write. So come on in, take you shoes and anything else you want off, get comfortable and stay a while.
