Fire Escape

Like life, some stairs are going up, while at the same time some are coming down. Age brings with it no real insurance policies. There are no guarantees that youth's stairs always push forward, and in the same token that old age always bring with it the prerequisite of going downhill. Life's journey is filled with endless twists and turns, that excite us when we least expect it. Many times like a M.C.Escher drawing, we are caught mid-step confused, as to where we are and where we are going. Enjoy every day... even if a hurricane might be headed your way.

  3. I love when you wax philosophic. Batten the hatches, Birdman, and hold E. close when the wind starts roaring.
