I had an unusual experience recently - planning my own funeral. That experience was not what anyone expected, and led me to further self actualize! Funny what picking songs does to the psyche...

Two part podcast. I come to an interesting epiphany in the middle of that, which further reinforces another razor I have explained in other podcasts!

Sadly, this juxtaposition was bound to happen sooner or later when one deals with morality and death. Religion has claimed that realm as an unyielding sovereign for millennia - until philosophy and history wrestled it away from religion's sole territory. My nurse tried to take it back to those days, when religion reigned over the quivering, foolish masses. Unfortunately, for her, I'm not one of them.

A recent discussion with my counselor reminded me of a few axioms I use to prevail, or endure, a difficult situation. I realize those axioms apply here, but how does one endure an arduous condition when the only cessation of that condition is your own death?

In this podcast I share some of the intricacies of hospice care, and how, despite being given grim outcomes, that I don't consider myself a victim and still find joy on a daily basis.

In this episode, I explore how living one's life is not too different from a simple golf game. With that said, I've been terrible at my short game, much like real world golf, and have been adjusting how I manage my life even with my decline and illness.

In this "special" podcast I discuss a new and worsening series of physical issues, that are truly alarming and absolute "firsts" in my life's history. I fear my Protein C deficiency is causing these issues, but right now, there is no way to be sure.

Don't worry, I'm still dying, but wanted to get some thoughts that have been in my head for a while off my chest. In this episode I discuss the war in Ukraine - and my personal connection to it. My perspective is likely controversial, however. So please listen kindly and gently.

In this podcast I summarize a recent and troubling Care Call between hospice and family. I also give in to the idea of cremation, and select a profound resting place, wherein my knowledge of Roman history beautifully meshes with ancient and modern sentiments, Kinda spooky, really,..

In this episode, I completely go off topic and rant about a pet peeve I have with how the American government is described. It's certainly proper considering the upcoming election, and maybe some listeners will find themselves doing the same error that makes my skin curl.
