Can we all agree that it's painful to face our biggest fears?

My biggest fear, well, besides spiders and all bug-related images, dolls, clowns, height, and public speaking, among other things, is to be completely honest with myself and, therefore, to criticize myself from someone else's point of view.  This process of reflecting on oneself can sometimes be very nerve-wracking and self-destructive.

The recession has hit almost all corners of the country, in every possible way to affect the everyday life of the American people.   Companies are downsizing and people are being laid off.  Foreign workers with work visas are told their employers are not planning on continuing their sponsorship next year.  In the midst of all the negativity, would it be a gutsy decision to leave a comfortable and well-paid job and head for the insecure and unknown as one of "the unemployed"?

Loving Chuck Lorre's vanity cards. Witty, right to the point, and never enough time to catch it on air.

Therefore, catch up with all of them on chucklorre.com.

First Blog Entry

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I should have started this 10 years ago when my ideas were fresher and bolder but here we are, 10 years later, older, and probably not wiser. The goal here is to be completely honest about what I think, and we all know that's always easier said than done.

There will not be a collection of interesting stories with hundreds of pictures, just random thoughts and perhaps so loose that I can't even keep up sometimes, but I will try.

To begin with, the title of my blog is called "Lucky Fritzy."  Well, it's really not that much of a mystery.  Fritz is a 17-pound orange tabby, one of our 3 adopted cats.  He has one good eye and one not-so-good eye, which was why nobody wanted to adopt him until we came along.  All of our 3 cats are very well-behaved, but Fritz is the most affectionate and mischievous.  Maybe we are the lucky ones to have been adopted by him, but then the blog would be named "lucky us, cat adopters", well, that wouldn't make a good name now, would it?

If you are a dog person or not a pet owner of any sort, you probably are ready to hit "Backspace" or go to someone else's blog before becoming tired of reading about cats but wait, this blog is not all about cats or my life, but rather life itself from my perspective, and I'll do my best to keep it interesting and logical.

So, if you're willing to keep an open mind, doubt everything I write here, but promise to pause and think about all the possibilities out there, you are one of my favorite readers.

Ready? Let's go.
