Sometimes a day off is the best medicine.

Due to family issues I have opted to not write today. There is an old saying we used to recite when I was an Army scout pilot back in my great war (Vietnam). "Sometimes you get the bear and sometimes the bear gets you". Kind of a philosophical approach to life that has served me well over the years. Well, today the bear got me and I have to take it in stride since the bear really doesn't get me very often. It was kind of a slow news day anyway, but, if there's one thing I know for sure, some politician, business mogul, clergy or big shot commentator will make a statement or at the very least do something to shame themselves and everyone around them and that's when I will be inspired to get writing.
