Okay, okay, wait just a cotton-pickin’ minute; I remember taking my last breath; well, I guess it was my last breath ‘cause I sure as hell ain’t breathing now. What is this thing they’ve stuffed me into? It’s all silky and satiny but it sure is a tight fit. Wait a minute, let’s go back [...]

A nice place to visit

Imagine you’re dead. You went toward the light; you heard the beautiful music; you saw colors you’d never seen before; you’d even learned that there really aren’t any Pearly Gates. As a matter of fact, you had been through the judgment process and found out that, by comparison to many, many others, you had lived [...]
The next chapter

What, do you suppose, is the next chapter? Perhaps, before asking that, one would have to query, “Is there a next chapter?” I was listening to a woman on television today. She indicated that she remembered the car crashing into a tree; then everything went black; next, she awoke to choirs of singing children and [...]
What is a news story?

You know what I haven’t heard much about lately…the “left-wing media.” Newt certainly hasn’t been talking about it and he was one of the most vocal critics. Santorum, Romney, and Paul don’t care; they’re getting their coverage; it’s not all good, but the coverage is there. I guess that radical left-wing media group must have [...]

If I get pissed off, take a gun, and shoot you dead, I get life in prison, probably without the possibility of parole. If I shoot my spouse because she irritated me, I’m probably going to get 25 years to life, and if I have a decent group of lawyers, I’ll probably wind up getting [...]
Confession of a killer

I am a killer! “Wow; he’s admitting that in writing,” you ponder to yourself. “A killer? Really?” Yep, that’s me, Killer Dick, The Big Bad….Person!” “Who do you kill?” you ask. “Aha,” I reply, “You’ve been watching too much CSI, NCIS, Dateline Discovery ID, and all those other gory programs. Therefore, you believe me to [...]
Dying isn’t the problem

There are several problems with aging aside from the most obvious. You don’t know what the most obvious is? No, the most obvious is not death, believe it or not. Hell, we’re all going to die. That’s one of those things that you don’t even consider in the problem category…just a fact of life. The [...]
Alive or Dead?

“Ah, it feels great just to be alive!” What the hell else would you be saying…”Ah, it’s great to be dead?” Who knows? When we move out of this stage of whatever-the-hell-it-is, we may look back and say, “Aw, damn, I wish I’d tried this sooner.” In all probability that won’t be the case, but [...]
Love and happiness

“I love Mommy and Daddy this much,” as the arms spread to their fullest possible length. Let’s see; that lasts until…umm…oh, I don’t know; maybe seven or eight? Whadda ya think? Nowadays, does it even last that long? I grew up in the fifties. We loved our parents a lot longer then, I think. Granted, [...]

It was 8:57 when I was driving home from the gym this Sunday morning…September 11, 2011. I had just gotten off the bike eleven minutes ago; stood for a moment with my head down and said a little prayer. I must admit that I really wasn’t praying for those folks who had died in New [...]
