Living In the Past is Devine

For many years, I have valued simple ways of living and looked on with concern about the increasing complexity of modern life. Many cynics have scoffed at my notion to assume earlier ways of existence, in the face of "technological progress." However, I choose to scoff at the cynic instead, and this blog will chronicle my thinking and behavior on the matter.

To acclimate the reader, below is a list of some things I am "for:"

• Bricks & mortar retail
• Old radios
• A limited number of nationally-available tv stations
• Classical architecture
• Hand-made items of most varieties
• Tradition
• Baseball
• Catholicism (though I am personally agnostic)
• Sewing
• Gardening
• Book-making
• Model T's
• Moldings
• Old Master works of art
• Newspapers
• Hand-written letters

I am hopeful that this blog will help me connect with other people who find joy in simpler and older ways of being.

Before you comment, "But isn't that ironic?" allow me to remind you that modern technology has killed the readership of printed classified ads, leaving me with few alternatives to this less-than-ideal medium.

Perhaps this blog can help me restore in number the use of these lost arts.

Cheers!

Katie
