How did the cows eat the cabbage. And why?
I don’t know, either, but I bet it helped to up
their production of methane. Mo. dumb-ass, yes.

Yeah…I’m the grandpa around this college but that’s okay I’m making my own way and I don’t care what they think about it.I get to laugh at their dumb ass moments and tell them just how the cow ate the cabbage! It is pretty fun.

Wife #1 couldn’t have kids after her first one, my step-son.
So things worked out for the best. Yes, I do believe.
She was 6 years older than me, too. That was part of it…

I can bet you’re having fun at college, lucky dog!
Lots of cute little women running around, I’m sure.

LOL! sorry had to chuckle I’m on wife number 3. Seems like a familiar tale. My 1st one got her first job and ran of with a 41 year old bald headed security guard that worked there too. Sad but true these thing generally happen for the best but you can’t tell a heart that when it’s breaking. College can actually be fun for older people we see thing so much differently than the ones fresh out of high school…they stress over everything and can’t believe the things I’ll say when I need to speak up. They are fun to watch because they don’t even realize they are adults yet!

Glad to know you understand my secret effects. Pizza, eh? lol!
Of course, we know Luke ends up telling Matt his secret.
Otherwise, how would I know? I never say when
he spills, or have yet to. May not need to.

A little of what I know about the burden of keeping terrible secrets
comes from reading a few of Carl Jung’s works. He heard a lot of confessions in his day, probably more than mosts priests.

Back when I was 19, I was going to go to college and work at Kaw at the same time. I got as far as enrolling…wanted to get a major in psychology. My first wife was then offered a scholarship to a private art school. I decided to support her, and allow her to go to school first. After she graduated, she was supposed to get a job and support me. Well, that didn’t happen, obviously. She divorced me instead.

I know one thing about wild events that have happened to me. I replayed the events over and over in my head. Some times I would be awakened just as the event was about to end and I would rise out of bed and wonder if I dreamed the event happened or lived through it. Reality always set in after my wits focused though… they usually subside after a week or so but every once in a while I come up out of bed in a fit of terror or rage (mostly after eating pizza).
That last paragraph lends to the burden of the secret in a very realistic way.

Good, Stuart. The secret is Luke’s version of The Tell-Tale Heart.
I’m sort of going to give the pastor’s heart some kind of sacred
and mysterious power…without saying so. Keep that in mind.
Morality is one of those flexible ideas that can change under stressful
circumstances and/or conditions. Luke will be challenged by his own.

Only changed a couple of things whilst editing this part this morning.

No problems with disbelief, Keith. You’ve really grabbed me now.

I did worry that my ‘Deputy Dawg’ inference might be considered interference….phew!

Okay, I’ll go set the washing machine in motion and think of you!
