Former police detective writes about life, death, and coffee.
Esther She cried when she saw me. I don't blame her. I looked nothing like I looked the last time she saw me, and it was a shock. I get it. Lately I shock myself when I catch myself in front of the mirror. That guy in the mirror looks bad. Certainly he looks worse... Continue Reading →
Count your blessings 1) The woman was in her late 60's when she died in her small apartment. She had left a trail of bodily fluids from the sofa in the living room to the bathroom where she was found dead sitting on the toilet. She was only found on the same day she died... Continue Reading →
In the time of Corona, no one can see you smile. If you smile I smile and if you say hello I say hello. Doesn't matter if I know you or not. A smile is just a nice greeting to share with people as you pas them by. I realized the other day while at... Continue Reading →
That just ain't right During these times when Captain No Fish is not allowed near his office for work (if you can call it that) we sometimes have coffee in the mornings outside.
