APP TO THE BEYONDER

No one has written an App to let you call beyond the veil with your smart phone yet. Until they do we know not what lies on the other side. So we're left with fearing the inevitable or facing the grim reaper with grimmer determination to stay one step ahead of his soul reaping scythe.

A year ago I found myself knocking at Death's door when my arteries closed up. Since then I've come to realize your time on this plane is fleeting. Rather than burrow deep into a tunnel of despair I say build a tower of defiance. Build it with bricks of compassion and mortar of humor.

This blog is a prime example of what I'm getting at. Genetically speaking I'm living on borrowed time. All my familial predecessors croaked in their sixties given that DNA marker I could stroke-out any minute. As that great sage Alfred E. Newman so aptly put it “What me worry?” I've embarked on a whole new career path. Writing, blogging, social networking all new skills I'm teaching myself. After decades of running small businesses it's a real shift in direction for me.

Up to now the vetterSverse blog has been about my life, but I don't want to ride the pale horse alone. Along the way I've met a number of fascinating people. These extraordinary individuals exemplify the kind of perseverance and humor that I'm key-stroking about. I will invite them to opine on whatever subject I'm writing about. Their life experiences and expertize should make for interesting discussions. So keep reading friends and you'll meet some truly unique characters.
