It's the birthday of writer Kurt Vonnegut (1922) author of "Cat's Cradle" and "Slaughterhouse-Five." It's also the birthday of Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821) author of "Crime and Punishment" and "The Brothers Karamazov."
Great story writers from Russian authors back then,and he was one of them. The true feelings come through the many words. Vonnegut's "So it goes." as soon as we fall, and fall we will.

While I've had sorrow as most of us have, it was not so great I could not move on in lfe. Ergo, I fall far short of being a truly great man, thank God! That's a burden I could not carry. "Help with a bag? Anyone?" That I can do....
