Life, actually…
.
BUT WAIT–THERE’S MORE!
.
“While you are still alive, try to enjoy the things you won’t miss when you are dead.”
.
Where did that thought come from? It suddenly appeared from somewhere inside my head.
.
Guess what this means?
.
Just when I thought it was safe to put aside my latest book and its sequel, yet another book is forming without my permission. The first book, “What I Said,” was forty years in the making. The sequel to “What I Said” is called “What More Can I Say?” It just popped out when I thought my brain was depleted of short wisecrackery remarks that might cause laughter or tears.
.
Once the original book and its sequel were out and about, I thought I could move on to my next, unrelated projects.
.
That is not the case. Suddenly my mind is streaming all these things that cry out to be heard. So far, fifty thoughts have invaded this sequel-to-the-sequel.
.
The title, “But Wait—There’s More!” seems to be appropriate.
.
Have you had enough background?
.
Want to hear the first ten thoughts of my next book? It may take years to complete, so here’s your chance to tell others you got here first.
.

“The future isn’t what it was last week.”
.
“Is premature death different from mature death?”

“I prefer pitted prunes to pitied prunes.”
.
“The diapers they are a-changing.”
.

.
“He was arrested for public plant propagation.”
.
“Why does it feel good to believe what is convenient, even if it is fake?”
.
“Each day something almost happens.”
.
“Rule of life 431: Always keep an ALDI quarter on hand.”
.
“Return her smile, even if it is a doofus smile. She will love it because it is unexpected and unrequested.”
.
There you go. Ten inexplicable thoughts designed to lease space in your imaginings for a few seconds.
.
Stay tuned for more meaninglessness. It’s out there
