Have you ever imagined your "other life"? The one you would be living if the train hadn't derailed that time, the girl had walked the other way, the scholarship had come through, or whatever potentially life-determining event had turned out differently.

What would be your ideal alternate life?
How about the nightmare one?

There is no other life, Skipper. Married my young sweetheart, now I call her grandma though she is a fast Walker and as beautiful as she ever was. Here's the weird thing. I rarely look in the mirror. Just to shave, you know. Her face is my mirror, and mine is hers. So we look a lot alike now. Still sweethearts.

Now I'm gonna shut up. Sucking up all the air in this retirement installment.

Check out the words and chest expansion on this cocky old dude indulging in his drug of must.

Heaven and Hell if they exist and if you can call it living (maybe in an alternate universe, you can).

The first one was yummy... once you get past the yucky infant.

So, you never - not even at 4 am after too much hot sauce on your taco - imagined how your life would have gone if you had missed the first meeting with the old sweetheart?

Oh no. The past is always part of now and must be incorporated in the future, for better or worse. And sometimes that vow has been the only thread to reality, though I have a knack sometimes for making it worse with wanderlust walkabouts and an almost complete lack of ambition. My bad, I guess. The acorns drive luxury cars though, and since it ain't about me, all is well. There is the haunting though, that unrequitedness caused by the finality of form dissolution leading to the burning off of old karma, which just may be too heavy for this one lifetime.

Here you go, Skip. Never too late, I suppose.

Don't recall ever having a nightmare. Not my department.

Lucky you.

God Must Be A Bogeyman. There, that's better. Now I can agree.
