An Open Mind?

I, Norman Arkin ,ascribe here and now ,my first will and testament, being of unruly mind , un-sound body, shaky moral sense ,unsteady will---- however, with a well-tended and with a generous response of the digestive system ,thereby affording as good a basis for an examination and full discloser of what the real me is about-----Up to now –these last 84 years, I seem to be ,to paraphrase Winston Churchill ,--- a hill of beans wrapped in a cloak of middle –class mediocrity ! At my age , I’ve given up trying to fool myself .

To be blunt ,I am posting these random thoughts in the hope that some kind soul, in picking thru the dross , chaff and dry bones might, luckily, come across some nuggets (probably Fools Gold) that might cast some lite on this person , mentioned above, as to his true character, if any , his worth to society , hardly monetary --- his knowledge of science –sketchy at best –but his appetite for its findings and conclusions -- insatiable ----his love of music is boundless --- is studying voice and trombone daily -- yet he has yet to make even a small dent in the distance between home and Carnegie Hall-----He loves to talk ,but he needs to listen more ! Of course , everyone is welcome ---the meal is spare –much water has been added to the soup ---but all are invited to are to share!
