Spam-a-lot
Changing Aging readers -- many of you posted comments this week and are probably wondering what the heck happened to them. We've been tweaking the junk filters to weed out the spammers who are just starting to pick up the blog, and inadvertently junked a large number of comments. We've salvaged most of them, but if you don't see yours or are still having trouble posting, please email your comments directly to changingagingATgmailDOTcom.

As always, I read along nodding my head. Spam....I understand that. The photo. I knew instantly what it was. When I went to the site, I couldn't figure out the second one. My brain must have burped.
The blog that changed blogging for me and many others in John Bailey's blog, no relation. When I first attempted to keep my "journal" online, I discovered him retired and in a cottage in Sommerset. "http://oldgreypoet.wordpress.com/"....he's a grand old grey poet indeed.
Mage Bailey's reference to “a grand old grey poet indeed” brought to mind the poetry of Ernest Noyes Brookings. Born in 1898, Ernest was a resident of the Duplex Nursing Home in Massachusetts. In 1979 David Greenberger became the new young, fresh-out-of-art-school activities director of the home. David encouraged Ernest to write poetry and over the last seven years of his life he wrote more than four hundred poems. David published a collection of Ernest’s poems, “We Did Not Plummet into Space”. David also published “The Duplex Planet”, 6-page typed and photocopied fold-over volumes that came out almost monthly, direct transcrips of conversations by the residents of the nursing home in response to typically quirky questions posed by David. I subscribed to “The Duplex Planet” twenty years ago and I hadn’t looked at my copies in many years, but thanks to this blog I found them in the bookcase, dusted them off and had a lovely afternoon revisiting them. I also found The Duplex Planet alive and well in the electronic age and although it may not have universal appeal – http://www.duplexplanet.com/. For those interested, there is a transcript of David’s April 2007 contribution to the "This I Believe" series on NPR's Morning Edition in his blog.
