My memory of the lead pipe discussion is pretty hazy, but I was able to use the search function to find it. I think it came from a smaller discussion about the origin of the term lead pipe cinch.
That was quite a discussion you had with Chatz. Well he is a talkative guy, and he certainly has a lot of knowledge that would take you at least a few hours of driving the googlemobile to amass.
The fireworks downtown were great this new years. I took a gummy to enhance the experience and it turned out to be too much. There I was after the fireworks with a big buzz and nothing much to do with it.
You guys know I write a bit, and I am trying to get back into it again so I asked Chatz if he would criticize one of my stories and he was all in on that. I thought he gave a pretty accurate review, and then I asked him what he thought about me having the character do this and he wrote back more of the story incorporating the character doing this, and I wrote back what if he does that and got another little writeup.
And so it went until 3 AM. Chatz makes a good sounding board but he is a terrible writer, his prose is clunky. I didn't make near the progress I had hoped for but I had a great time. I will try this again.
Living here in a tower with its own grocery store and all I can probably stay out of the old folks facility longer than Beagles, but my time has to come. I am kind of rooting for dying in my sleep, or maybe something quick like getting hit by a car. I guess being propped up with a soft pillow while friends and relatives drop by to wish me bon voyage would be nice, hopefully with happy pills.
I am sure that we all think about this stuff, but it's hard to guide the conversation to it because most likely it will make the rest of the crowd uncomfortable.
They have all these pamphlet like things on the subject but they tend to be religious or spiritual or eerily upbeat, can't we do just the facts Ma'am?
