"THE YEARS TEACH MUCH THE DAYS NEVER KNOW." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Edgar Allan Poe has nothing on me. My severe depression I could maybe downgrade to but a "funk"; however just as the lead singer with Heavy Metal "Iron Maiden" recently penned a new book from the depths of despair forgoing the hunt and peck system and instead scrawling upon yellow legal pads, I likewise someday must exorcise my grief and grievances. Lately, Donna Brazile and Hillary Clinton, not to mention Joe Biden, Lawrence O'Donnell, and Chris Matthews, also contributed book-of-the-month entries lamenting precarious life on this earth in these frenetic, explosive times! I've decided to write my next book. though, when and if I survive these past few months from Hell and have at last possibly begun to sense the humorous aspect of my personal nightmare. It just might morph into a kid's book, for goodness' sake! Jennifer for whom I write these columns emphasizes the positive via her news blog, and we discussed at a local restaurant how tricky "looking on the bright side" can sometimes be. But, here I am...I can do this. "If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered." ~ Edgar Allan Poe
