8. My history with "Is he dead yet?"

Fri Oct 3, 2025, 07:49 AM

Oct 3

When our good friend Orrex started his/her daiy examinations into the question of "Is he dead yet?," I must admit I was amused but after a few days I stopped reading.

Wife and I 7 months ago moved from the house we built 17 years ago on a few acres in deep red rural VA into a small apartment in densely populated Northern Virginia.

My habit is to get up around 0600, go to the apartment's gym and work out for about 90 minutes.

A few months ago, I found myself later in the morning checking out Orrex's daily post in hopes that the answer was "Yes."

Now I find that I can't wait for Orrex -- EVERY DAY upon waking up at arounD 0555, instead of lying there thinking about my workout, I reach for my phone on the nightstand and check CNN, MSNBC, and the WashPost online to see if he is dead yet.

THANK YOU, ORREX, FOR KEEPING THE FAITH AND KEEPING US INFORMED.
