Slow Defeat
Who doesn’t want to enjoy the slow defeats within a long life?
Let death claim its single victory, while we take a thousand dances under the bright sun of delusion. Each moment another victory against the inevitable. Each tomorrow a new day – apart from once.
But is death such a big loss?
I know quite a few dead people and,one thing for certain is, they don’t annoy me anymore.
I was not responsible for their deaths,as you know.
I have received an email from heaven and I am even familiar with animal heaven.
Is death the final defeat or is it a draw at the close of play ?
Even so, we can learn to treasure our small victories and those special moments, while our tomorrows fall away.
I do treasure the small victories. Usually because they’re so few and far between…

You make a good point about dead people, Tim. They are pretty easy to get along with.

Those dead people you know, you sent them all over to me didn’t you?
They annoy the hell out of me.
A bonus is that I sell tickets for “Genuine Spooky Experience nights” and I’m writing a history of my haunted house. Well, I’m not; actually I’m using a ghost writer!

Do you tell the dead people jokes? Be careful, they may decide to go to hell instead

Perhaps, but I always deliver the jokes in a deadpan manner
