What a morning. It seems harder and harder to move my feet out of my bed. Most of my drive derives from making sure my dog (older than I in dog years) has enough food for the day. My second priority is the morning paper. I thumb through the fat and get to what I call the prime rib...the obituaries. As I crack the obituaries I read that... |  |
 |
I had done my job thoroughly, just like I had everyday for the past 14 years. I knew every name on that page and every story. Not all of the useless information on how "they loved rock climbing" or "this fellow lived an ideal life." No. I knew that.. | |
 |
I've glamorized the lives of so many. Some easier than others, but most, it was like drawing blood from a turnip:"Ol' John Jacobs, he was a - uh -he was a great master of tic-tac-toe." Yeah, when I got home every night, the rose-colored glasses came off | |
 |
and I scrutinized my own life with home-court advantage. These obituaries have shackled me for longer than I can remember. For crying out loud, I feed a dog every morning that is stuffed full of cotton! Yeah, my dog, Sam, is not among the living. | |

There are 45 segments remaining. |
