2 signs were hung above the entrance:

The first one read, All Men Must Die

The second read, Prepare To Meet Your Maker.

It was a distant time, before cars and sensitivities had taken over the world.

I am however beginning to understand why many of the old timers refused to go to the hospital.

I’ve been studying Robert Johnson and listening to Leonard Cohen and his tower of song… It’s about the lives and loss and tradgeties as much as the music or maybe the music is the by product…I don’t know.I do know I feel fortunate to have something to listen to besides Dylan.Dennis Mantin

Peter owns a laundromat. I drop off once a week… He runs it with his wife and they golf almost everyday most of the year. Lovely Happy Couple.

I asked how long he’s owned the laundromat. He searched his mind. “16 years.”

“What did you do before this?”

“I owned a gas Station, 24 hours a day, 8 full time employees, 3 heart attacks, 10 operations… almost died.”

I long for nothing now: It’s just one vile task after another… Total Surrender!

Sex has come and gone and strangely silent and serene.

I am the cheque writer, the bank account, the provider, the solution… For others

It’s glorious! Really

It’s an in the moment THANG…

Those who can stare into that abyss and not blink, they are truly special!

Kawhi is one: others exist.

Mike C calls it the blur.

Can you stay focused when you are in the blur? When everyone else is losing it?

So much to learn…

Awaking from a Vivid Dream!

That fades to somewhere: where I have no memory.

The sun: the glorious warmth of the sun has returned and no one is summoning me away from the voices in my head which seemed to have retired.Coffee and onward…
