DEATH WATCH!
Writing by treason on Friday, 29 of December , 2006 at 6:25 pm
My sister and her husband had planned to come in from California via Amtrak and it’s been snowing all day. I’d been waiting to hear something because I didn’t know if they’d be staying here or if I needed to pick them up at the train station. I really didn’t want to be on bridges or overpasses in this weather, but I was willing to be of service. This is the most snow we’ve had in the twelve years we’ve been here. Gosh, I love global warming.
It’s a strange day and James Brown and Gerald Ford will soon have company. See, I’ve always pictured a waiting room with kidney-shaped coffee tables and really old issues of Highlights, TIME, and National Geographic - dead people just sitting around waiting for the next level. They say Saddam has about an hour to go - and if that’s true, that’s fine. I just keep picturing him sitting with James and Jerry, going through stacks of ancient periodicals. An “accidental” president, a deposed dictator, and the Godfather of Soul all sitting, waiting, wondering.
It’s almost like an episode of Meeting of Minds…
