Why should I not publish a web log of my vanishing memories? I have often read reminiscences of people I have never even heard of, nor met. I am “nobody” famous nor important — however my recollections as I journey along Route 66 shall be quite interesting to me. I must write of my memories before they are vanished forevermore down that long river of no return. My one regret is that I did not record the memories of my younger days, which were infinitely more interesting than those of today. They are now truly vanished. It is not really my fault, as there was no blogging software in those long ago days of yore.
I know who I am. No one else knows who I am. If I were a nobody, and someone said that I was a barney, I’d think, “no, actually I’m a nobody.“

Glad your blog has given you a place to share your memories. It is important for people to know what has gone before — and the lives of famous people are usually so removed from our own, they may not resonate with other unfamous people.
May you find much pleasure in your reminiscences — and may you find much of the past returning as you write.
I think this intro as to why you’re blogging is great and very poetic!
