“People just want you to see them as they hope to be seen. And everyone wants to be seen as interesting.” – “World Gone by” – Dennis Lehane

Good morning to all of my friends, family, associates and other assorted human beings. A shout out as well to all of you liars, cheaters, scumbags, dirt bags, thieves, or – “politicians” as you are most commonly addressed.

A friend of mine recently asked me how I was doing………………………..and what I was doing?

For those of you who have never worked a gate, let me tell you that the latter defines rhetorical. How am I doing? A more appropriate query would be how are you coping?

With legerity, I bounced around inside my skull, seeking an answer to those innocuous concerns.

How does one make the mundane interesting?

Read a good book. That is how I cope with madness.

So my friend………………………..don’t ask me what I am doing?

Ask me what I am reading?

That I will respond to with love and good conversation.
