Passed on. Departed. Left this world. Passed away. Slipped away. Was called home. Gained his angel wings. Kicked the bucket. Is in a better place. Met his maker. Entered eternal rest. It's funny how we use Euphemisms to "Soften the blow"--when we really want to say--DAMN IT --SHE OR HE IS DEAD. DEAD AS A DOORNAIL as Dickens would say. Doctor Death has been on my mind A LOT lately. So many people have DIED over the last few months. YES--THEY ARE DEAD. Really good people. These were friends, husbands, wives, fathers, aunts, uncles, sons, daughters, siblings--that we will NEVER SEE OR TALK TO AGAIN. That's the reality AND IT SUCKS. It's something you can't possibly understand UNTIL IT HAPPENS TO YOU. Life can change in the blink of an eye so-- BE KIND--BE THANKFUL AND APPRECIATE EVERY DAY. Don't sweat the small stuff. That's all I've got.........If you want to escape reality for a while, check out Stacey Abrams new book While Justice Sleeps. This serious page turner, written by the 2018 Democratic nominee for governor of Georgia, is a real eye opener into the world of politics even though it's fiction. As this mystery unfolds, Howard Wynn, Justice for the Supreme Court, has slipped into a coma at a very inconvenient time. He's due to vote on the merger of an American biotech company with an Indian genetic firm. To make matters worse, he's appointed his law clerk, Avery Keene, as his legal guardian and Power of Attorney. Add to the mix, a President bent on stopping the merger, and a cast of characters including Wynn's estranged wife, son, FBI agents and a host of elaborate clues that mimic a chess game. Keene clearly has her hands full as she tries to sift through a web of lies and a political landscape that is reminiscent of our world today. Find out if Avery saves the day when you read this suspense filled novel for yourself. It's about 360 pages or a 4 mile novel that will keep your mind off your troubles......for a little while.
