"It's a sad day..."

Overheard phone conversation in adjoining cubicle: "Yeah, that girl in Florida died, and the pope is dying. It's a sad day."

Uh-huh. A friend's younger brother was killed in an automobile accident this morning. I doubt that Larry King, Bill O'Reilly, or Ted Koppel will mention it, though.

It is a sad day.

    Thanks for the gracious comment on my latest blog. I see that you and my brother (the "Burnt Ends" guy) are blog-acquaintances. He's the writer and the deep thinker in the family; I try to be like Christ first and like Doug second.

    Your writing is lovely and rich. Thanks for sharing with us.
