on watch

The postings are not about my daily life. If they were they would probably more interesting or even exciting(1-ha!). But I don't have the courage to confront in public my daily problems. In fact I write only about things that do not matter much. On the same level as solving crosswords. And never getting to solve the entire puzzle.
(1)- Conceited! Am I trying the excuse -what I am writing may be boring, but you should see what I do or make?- Obviously writing a blog is a form of self exposing and who would expose himself without looking for approval or admiration.

Is this your cousin? Found his picture on the internet.
First in his math class, sealed [and sailed to] his fame as the family genius by dropping out of college claiming they could not teach him anything he already did not know.
Became a journeyman on construction sites where he was bending rebars. Always correcting the record. His letters to the editors were published in newspapers from Pravda to PLO publications to Le Monde.
