Arthur Koestler

It is 5:26 PM Friday evening in the flow of existence. I had a normal Friday. Nothing happened to be upset about. I already know the world is going to hell.

Our oldest son Caleb Jon called this afternoon and we talked for over an hour. Caleb is newly married and living in Boston Mass working on getting a Ph.D. in Political Theory. I always enjoy talking to our three children. I love my children and pray for them constantly.

This morning before taking Rudy for a walk at Kollen Park I stopped at a thrift store to buy for fifty cents biography I saw the other day on the life of Arthur Koestler. I have only one book by Koestler in my book collection, a novel by him titled “The Age Of Longing”. When I was in High School it was required to read Koestler’s novel “Darkness at Noon”.

Not much went out today. I am at a lost today. I am out of it. Not in the mood to do anything really wild.

Carol should be getting up soon to face another work night. There is nothing on television tonight worth watching. If I had the money I would go buy a bottle of gin to celebrate making it to the end of another day.

Maybe I will go to a local grocery store and buy a cooked chicken and a bottle of gin. Rudy and I will have a party tonight!

Well that will never be so I will just go through the evening hours reading my books and hoping for a better tomorrow.

I will close to face an empty stomach. I do not know what to cook for dinner? What to feed my sweet old lady?
