Truth To Tell

  I don't know when it began, all that hugging on TV.  Used to be that the Hollywood air-kissing style was the subject of humor and ridicule, but currently every celebrity guest introduced on a TV program hugs the hosts and anyone else in the general area.  Because I no longer travel in fashionable circles, I can't say whether the hugging trend has carried over into real-time life.  I can say that the only hug I've received in recent months, from anyone over the age of 3, was from a 73-year-old physician whose first language is Hindi.

They're  saying  it's been a long time since we've hit 70, and they're not kidding.

The Nicene Creed

"I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins, and look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come."
      I know it's a sign of our blind shortcomings, but we live with so many unanswered questions. When I was a child, I wondered if  my dog would be in Heaven.  Now I wonder the same about my original knees.
