Have I lived too long?
Today August 12, 2021, I am seventy-eight years old. Seventy-nine in October. This presents a problem because I am something around forty in my mind. My body is younger, and I still look presentable. Except for the normal aches and pains from injuries and abuse, I have no health complaints. I have a comfortable place to live and no money worries. I don’t work, do more or less as I like, and have few friends by choice. My daughter is independent, secure, and has a brilliant future. She is my only child and relative except for a brother and assorted cousins scattered across America. Really, I have nothing to complain about considering the thousands who are doing it tough because of the pandemic. Still not a day goes by that I don’t reflect that I have lived too long.

Halloween in America
Halloween In America Billy Smith was excited. Halloween was only days away. The choice of costume was on his mind. A decision had to be made. He had narrowed it down to two possibilities. The trusty, scary pirate with a large sword and an eye patch or being a mummy with dark circles under his eyes and spots of blood spattered on a white wraparound sheet.
