Is there Life after Death...?


A couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and inform the other of the afterlife. Their biggest fear was that there was no afterlife at all. After a long life together, the husband was the first to die.

True to his word, he made the first contact, "Marion ... Marion "

"Is that you, Bob?"

"Yes, I've come back like we agreed."

"That's wonderful! What's it like?"

"Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex.. I have breakfast and then it's off to the golf course ... I have sex again, bathe in the warm sun and then have sex a couple of more times. Then I have lunch (you'd be proud - lots of greens) another romp around the golf course, then pretty much have sex the rest of the afternoon. After supper, it's back to golf course again. Then it's more sex until late at night. I catch some much needed sleep, and then the next day it starts all over again"

"Oh, Bob, knowing you, you must be in Heaven!"

"Not exactly ... I'm a rabbit on a golf course in Arizona ."

A Tribute to my Mom

I just got the bad news a few days ago while on a business trip that my 85 years young mom is stricken with innoperable cancer and has roughly 3 months to go, give and take whatever the Lord grants her in his grace. I just hope that she does not unecessarily lie there suffering. Being from Canada, the original song is in French, but there is a Spanish version and a beautifully executed Harmonica veriosn. I shall play this songs for as long as it takes for her to meet the Lord.!

An American Literary Legend passes on....


John Updike passed away at the age of 76 after a bout with lung cancer. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1932 and was the offspring of a modest school teacher.
His novels depicted every day American life and more particularly described life in a small, protestant, middle class American town.
His first novel was published in 1959..”The Poorhouse Fair”, but the “Rabbit” is what made him famous...Harold “Rabbit” Armstrong's sex life, education, affairs, marriage, ups and downs in life were described in vivid details in these chronicles.
John Updike attended Harvard and spent a year or so at Oxford. He worked briefly for the New Yorker Magazine prior to becoming an established and well known writer
