Oh, No! What have you done?

OK

I get it. When a blogger I am following does not publish in a while, I wonder....."What happened?" I see it has been a day or two since my nimble fingers have graced the keyboard to memorialize my wit and wisdom. Looks like life happens, or in some cases, death happens, I suppose. I my case, it was life. This time......

Sometimes I choose to review the things I have done in my life. Some of these things are accomplishments, personal or professional, and of many of these, I am justly proud. Others may be better described as 'deeds' heroic or foul, for there are both in my resume. But I do reflect on them as they come to mind.

Here is an interesting 'life experience.' I shared a meal with a murderess. This was shortly before she added that particular chapter to her book. I listened to her rant about her victim, and no, she did not threaten to commit the crime in my presence, but she did express, in no uncertain terms, her hatred for this person.

When her rage and insanity finally overcame whatever tattered shreds of civility, responsibility and common sense she possessed, she did commit a deed most foul. Death was not enough; she sought to inflict pain, and I think if she could have killed her victim several times, she would have.

She was not stupid or ignorant. In fact, I believe she believed she would not be caught because she knew she was so much smarter than the cops. She wasn't. Besides being the prime suspect from the start, she left a trail of evidence Helen Keller could have followed.

Caught, she was. Convicted, as well. Committed only one murder, but the land is littered with victims.
