Many years ago I had set up a blog to post random and occasional storied thoughts in narrative form. That blog, mostly left unattended over the years, was archived and I started over here with Reading Life, A Minnesotan’s view. Most of my writings I do for myself, and they never see the light of day. Others, when I seemed to have leaned harder into my keystrokes, will most likely find themselves posted here. I hope you can relate to these offerings. – Jim Olson
