 It has been so long since I wrote on here that I know nothing about how it works.  And, as far as I can tell, everything that makes it simpler actually makes it more complicated and less user friendly for older people like me.  

For some perhaps obscure reason and most likely fully transparent reason, I agreed to return to part-time employment shortly before my 80th Birthday.  Now I know to many 80 is still young, but to me it seems to be a very significant mile stone.  For one thing, it is the decade in which I have a very good chance of dying.  The Social Security Actuarial Tables give me 9.83 years.  And I assume they know something of which they speak.  Now that all sounds morbid, but it is also very motivating!  If there is something I want to do I need to get off my duff and get it done.  

I have tried the Swedish Death Cleaning, have not gotten too far on it, will leave a mess for my kids to clean up after me, but I am sure they will have no trouble throwing out the pieces of paper that have become so valuable to me simply by reason of their having survived earlier purges.  And the things I can not throw away because they were in my parent's or grandparent's houses--they will offer them up on e-bay and when that fails put them in the collection plate somewhere.  So that is all taken care of--which gets us to the really important questions.

How many dimensions are there, and which one do we go to when we die?  Do we just decompose into the few dollars worth of chemicals that make up our physical bodies and occupy some other corner of our three dimensions in a time that was not, is not, our own?  Or do we pass on into one of the other dimensions of String Theory or make a Quantum Leap into another time dimension of our same old three dimensions?  Or maybe become a part of a parallel universe in a different time dimension?

If you know how to redirect my questions into something meaningful, or know the meaning hidden in them as expressed, please let me know.  There is not a enough time left to formulate a 10 year plan, and not a lot of time to get going on a final 5 year plan.  

Looking forward to hearing from someone.

Peace and blessings and please pray for peace in our hearts, in our homes, in our neighborhoods and in the world.
