It was a spectacular late summer/early fall day in Hartford, I went to a country fair and enjoyed the people watching (even though most of my pictures stunk), and I was feeling pretty good. Then you put this downer on your blog. It is my birthday tomorrow and I am already past that guy's expiration date. Where did I leave my poison hemlock? This is one of those times I am grateful for the decline in short term memory.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323811980627840654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-9283396992396930492013-08-24T21:38:10.755-04:002013-08-24T21:38:10.755-04:00Nice articles and fotos in log, greeting from Bel...Nice articles and fotos in log, greeting from BelgiumLouisettehttp://retriever-kat-scrap-louisettesblogs.blogspot.be/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-74122002924989390222013-08-24T17:53:03.466-04:002013-08-24T17:53:03.466-04:00I hope enjoyed those sixty years.I hope enjoyed those sixty years.Stefan Janssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542072508543147268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-489099487009986802013-08-24T16:13:25.553-04:002013-08-24T16:13:25.553-04:00Sobering post for the day.Sobering post for the day.RedPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06980471119229896414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-16318580405620860542013-08-24T15:35:16.914-04:002013-08-24T15:35:16.914-04:00Poor guy!

Once I stopped working I became a great deal more optimistic, had time to pursue interests, be curious, become patient, and gained some flexibility. Drop the classic obligations and there's a lot more room for the good stuff! Stay chained to the grind and it isn't so easy to see a light at the end of the tunnel.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02971991029290518107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-51270407547585873302013-08-24T14:57:34.026-04:002013-08-24T14:57:34.026-04:00Interesting story.

I always wonder about the religious prohibitions against suicide. So I jumped first to Martin's chapter "My Religion." He ends that section by saying "I pray that God will forgive me and through his grace via the sacrifice of his Son, I will be saved."
