Don't talk to me about the Gates, I wrote and asked them to please support Covenant House because they try to get to the runaways before the predators do. One of their flunkies as good as told me to bugger off.

Born & raised a Minnow Muncher (AKA Catholic)...even attended a Catholic university. Other than loving the smell of incense & the majestic cadence of a Latin High Mass...not too interested anymore. I do believe that whoever wrote the 10 Commandments came up with a pretty practical way of living one's life. In other words...just be nice, OK?

What got me as I watched my parents reach the end of their lives, was that church (organized religion) meant less and less to them. But, their love of family and their belief in an afterlife grew tremendously.

Wishfull thinking? I don't know. But I do hope to see them again.

What I am looking forward to is the whole gang of former pets waiting at the Rainbow Bridgee.

Oh, yeah. The animals too, for sure. And there's a former girlfriend I would love to see again. Cancer took her at 39. Rest in Peace, Tabitha.

I certainly hope ol' Tippy is waiting for me whenever I arrive in the next world. I'm gonna sic 'em on all of those bastards that I don't want to see.

After all, attacking a bunch of assholes would be HIS vision of heaven.

Tippy would see Shock and turn into a weak-kneed love-sick puppy. Then again, he might see lunch.

Don, my Dad was a methodist early on, to the point my oldest brother - rest his soul - was named Wesley. Later when the Methodists in Canada merged with many of the Presbyterians to form the United Church he went along.

I can't help feeling that my parents and my oldest brother were looking out for me when Florence an I met.

Sunday school, odd thing is that my Bible is marked for perfect attendance. Never submiited my son to that, but a better father you won't find.
