Smiling In Hell 2.0 - Life After Retirement and then some

Take a traipse through some memories of adventures from my past eight years in the non-profit world (yes, that means personally as well as the type of business), a smattering of recollections from adventures past and present and maybe some observations of the world around us and who knows what all.

    CHAPTER 47 - FLYING IN HELL

    I used to love to fly. It was an exciting, sort of cool and classy thing to do. Airlines used to treat us passengers like valued customers (even if we weren’t in First Class) and seemed to care about our comfort and safety. So, what happened?

    Smiling in Hell 2.0 - Chapter 46: The Criminal Race

    Yes, it’s been almost two months since I’ve allowed the growing umbrella of irrational thought, unbelievable social-political-communal actions, reactions and, even more important, inaction that have led to a number of head-shaking events that grabbed my lower lip, pulled me painfully over the edge and back to this here keyboard.

    Smiling in Hell 2.0 - Chapter 45 - YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!

    Serendipity happens as my spousal best friend and I just finished watching the limited series “Rabbit Hole” starring Keifer Sutherland on Paramount+. Per IMDB, “Rabbit Hole is a TV series about a private espionage operative who battles over the preservation of democracy in a world of surveillance, misinformation and manipulation.”

    CHAPTER 44 - ONCE MORE INTO THE BREACH...

    Along with preparing for and attending my 50th high school reunion, many of you readers and listeners know that I’ve actually completed writing my first novel and been somewhat actively pursuing, albeit without success, publication. Of course, being a first attempt at a book, I know that it is not perfect. So, before I continued to add to my stack of ‘thank you-no thank you’ letters, I decided to reach out to a few of my more literary friends and ask for some honest and constructive criticism.

    CHAPTER 43 - IT'S NOT THE YEARS...IT'S THE MILEAGE

    It’s been a little tough on old team Peterson the last month or so and we’ve really proven that old adage about life.  You know the one … no one gets out alive. Well, it’s sure true. Aside from my writer’s ego being on life support right now, the girls and I recently lost a couple close members of our family. Along with that, my pending 50th high school reunion has reminded me of the good friends and fellow Northern High classmates that I’ve lost in the past year or so.  It’s not the brightest of subjects, but, like the rest of you, it’s not something we can avoid.  Like they say, no one gets out alive.

    CHAPTER 41 - I TOLD YOU SO

    First seen here in this blogular arena way back April 2020, I RE-present a couple of excerpts from articles called “The Covid Conspiracy,” and “This Too Shall Pass” where I portended several theories regarding the whole Covid sxxt show for which I was all but tarred and feathered by folks who thought I was the love child of Hitler and Judas…if men could actually have babies. Which, of course, they can’t.

    SMILING IN HELL 2.0 - CHAPTER 40 - ADVENTURES IN TRAVEL - NEW YORK NEW YORK

    So, in thinking about a new topic to drill down on I’ve been hearing more and more about this new place where many people are “Smiling in Hell.” It’s a little burg up north a ways.  Y’all might have heard of it. It’s been in all the papers and on all the news shows, well maybe not the lame street media ones.  It’s called New York, New York.
