It's times like this that cause me to reflect on my own mortality, and the inevitable conclusion that faces us all.
I don't know if I'll get into heaven or not... That question is still up in the air. I guess I'll find out when I get to the Pearly Gates whether they're open to me or not. But, if by some circumstance I do make it, I'm sure all the angels will have the face and voice of Lisa Kelly... That's my dream anyway. I have alot of old friends, both human and canine that I need to catch up with...

Happy Thanksgiving to all...
Thanks for your honesty and kind heart Bill. I find autumn in general to be a time of "remembering". I often times find myself longing for days past and for those who have gone out of my life. I find putting pen to paper often helps me "get it all out". Here is an example:

Whispering Season
Night time shines, moonlight glitters, Trees Whispering Secrets Unknown
Soft collections of choked emotion Concealed in the folds of its robes
Who is thy benefactor O night? From whom did you steal the light?
Taking the one thing you could never have shone
Coldly you muster all of your strength As you shake what should not be disturbed
Tattered and tawdry Rusted and gaudy
Trees are ripped naked of their clothes
Fall, your companion has given you dominion To take back the time you once gave
Silent compassion, remembered reflection Spring had once robbed night with day
The score is settled Night has been ridden of any light that once shone in its eyes
No flowers to grow Only moonbeams and snow
Desolation and wonder Taking mankind hostage within.

Take care my friend, you have many great shaves to come
