At first thought, the idea of mystery in my life did not turn on many light bulbs. But with a little reflection, I began to consider the adventures in my day-to-day experience. I am a warrior fighting spiritual battles every day. I am an explorer seeking new paths to walk. I am a private investigator probing evidence to discover truth. I am an orphan who found a new home filled with many brothers and sisters.

So here is the plot - if you like it, don't steal it but let me know f you want to read more:

At 20 years old, Brad found himself in a dark room with only a single light bulb dangling from the ceiling. His captors let him out each morning for the appearance of freedom but they were always watching, always close by, always making sure he knew they were there. For seven years, they had provided for his needs and even encouraged his wants, but they directed his mind toward their overall goals. He was well fed. He enjoyed the advantages of books and competition and relationships as long as those advantages agreed with the strategies of his captors.

Jan,
I have not read a book by that title. Looking on Goodreads, there appear to be several works by that title. At least four authors have published a book under this identifier - Eben Alexander, Mary Curran Hackett, Jason Black, and Camilla Kendal. The one by Eben Alexander has a subtitle - A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife. Is this the one?
If you are recommending this read, please let me know the author. I would be most interested in exploring your suggestion. (less)

Problem Solving - The Red Rocks

I enjoy doing puzzles and figuring out solutions to problems. One of my favorite responsibilities as a school administrator was brainstorming potential resolutions to educational issues. I loved student scheduling and trying to integrate all the student requests into a workable master schedule. At the same time, I was concerned with the lack of perseverance on the part of some students to solve pr Read more of this blog post »

I found this play a little strange, as the plot seemed shallow and lacked pizazz. The beginning involved a lot of yelling and negative conversation. The conclusion was just sad.

I can understand why this novel, first published in 1899, was shocking to it's readers. Today, I found it just sad. The description of the various settings and the personalities of the cast were well written, but the plot was rather slow-moving. ...more

Fascinating play involving a jury. The exploration of the circumstantial evidence was very well done, and the dynamics between the members of the jury were so skillfully presented.
