BEAR FACED AND THE GOOD NEWS IS…

I have had some gentle chiding (for a given value of gentle) about the subject matter of some of these columns. Apparently they focus a little too much on crashes and other experiences seen as negatives. “How are you even alive?” asked one friend. Well, okay. I don’t know the answer to that.

But I can only remember three, maybe four times when the message “you’re gone” fl ashed up on my mental screen like the destination in a suburban train; and obviously I was wrong each time. Unless this is the afterlife…
