Just a post script to yesterdays post. The man I wrote about has been hospitalized and is undergoing treatment for severe depression. Thanks to those who voiced concern about him. Todays rant follows. This is an unusually good article, especially for Mlive.com, a site that USED to be a very good... Sign in to see full entry.

To Be or Not To Be...
I was supposed to be elsewhere by now but I got an early morning call (4AM!) from a friend who 'just needed to talk' and about 30 minutes into it, they said they were considering suicide. They asked if I thought God would punish them forever if they did. I don't believe that would happen. Some might... Sign in to see full entry.

Our writing club has a contest of sorts entitled "The 100 Word Challenge." The intent is obvious. Sometimes they pick a topic for you a week in advance and the next week, you read your offering. I was looking for another file and I happened upon the one I wrote for the December meeting just before... Sign in to see full entry.

Move It Along Please!
I was in a couple stores earlier today and it came to me that there are too many idiots in this world who do nothing but sit around and dream up new ways to get offended. I had a couple women completely blocking the aisle as they held some kind of spontaneous family reunion. As it happened, they... Sign in to see full entry.

Tales of a Life Long Story Teller
If a few things straighten up and nothing else goes stupid, I've been asked to teach a two or three day writing seminar at a local college in mid February. It's a long time from now until then but just in case all of those things that have to go right, do go right, I am getting my project into... Sign in to see full entry.

A Shameless Plug
This is a short out take from my newest book on Amazon on spotting and living with depression. It is hitting the shelves just now. You can find it here: http://tinyurl.com/nnlz9ua Since first we met, I was aware that my wife had issues that undercut her confidence. I loved her then and I love her... Sign in to see full entry.

Find Someone Else To Blame
PS: I mistakenly added this to my fiction blog. I am reposting it where it was meant to go. I apologize I don't know why but this struck me as funny tonight. I often find myself all full of opinion, and none of it valid. I went to my psychiatrist to be psychoanalyzed To find out why I killed the cat... Sign in to see full entry.

We Talk Politics Ever So Briefly
Something to ponder. With my wife completely disabled now, we have no insurance. Oh yeah, I could get the new fangled government issued "health care" but the premium is a mere $780 a MONTH and they don't pay for the first $15,000 which is border line stupid when you think about it. They want to... Sign in to see full entry.

The Evolution of Society
I had to go into a fairly large store this afternoon. I've been a long time 'people watcher' and today, I saw something that got started a decade back. As I walked about the store, no one looked at you, no one smiled, some were talking on their cell phones, and others just walked about with either a... Sign in to see full entry.
