Aw Shux…

posted in Blogging Community News, Farm Almanac, Friends, The Proprietor |

I got a link from the December 15th AARP Bulletin.  This may be my first and only unsolicited mainstream positive  recognition.  There I am, in the list, right below Ronni Bennett and not that far down from Millie Garfield.

Here’s what they said:

Frank Paynter’s Sandhill Trek (http://sandhill.typepad.com/sandhill_trek/)

is about life on the farm, dealing with the inevitable loss of beloved pets,
progressive politics, nature and other topics, rendered in sometimes lyrical
prose.

I like the phrase "sometimes lyrical prose."  I guess they missed the part where the mean son-of-a-bitch comes out and I rave and rage against the idiocy of a populace so dim-witted, deluded, or careless or greedy, so miserably callous and cold that they could elect the mass murdered from Crawford, Texas - Mr. Death Penalty himself - to not one but two terms in office.  Wait.  Maybe that’s the "progressive politics" part.

    Hey! I’m over 50 and I didn’t even get a mention….only I rarely write about aging issues.

    Very cool, Frank. But now that you’re mainstream, what can we expect from you?

    Lyrical prose? Empirical Toes? Cynical Foes? Cyrillic Nose? Miracle Pose?

    Hard to hear/read so well since I started getting those AARP mailers. Just how did those suckers know exactly when I turned 50?

    Makes me think there’s a conspiracy afoot. And isn’t eh bottom line that they (the ARP) really just want to sell me insurance and travel arrangements?

    Congratulations on the 50+ MSM link.
