Ceeelcee pontificates about life in the new age.

I was listening to “This American Life” last weekend, (yeah I’ve got a yellow-dog liberal streak down my back, screw you, righties!) and David Rakoff told the story about Vinny Ricardo, who was found dead in his New York apartment after mummifying for over a year. Tragically, with the television on.

It got me to thinking, I pay all my bills via electronic transfer. My doctor and my dentist know that I’m responsible enough to make my own appointments on a regular schedule. The folks where I work know that I’d just as soon disappear to my cabin in Sewanee some day forever anyway and catch up on forty years worth of reading and bird watching.

He goes on to say, if you don’t hear from him on Twitter or on his blog, check up on him in case he’s deceased.

Lovely thoughts this a.m.

Oh good. I thought you said “diseased…”

This is why it’s a good idea to max out your credit cards and everything else you can borrow against. Debt holders will never let you go too long without sending someone to check on you!
