Dying and death are part and parcel of the contract of life, and, The Maker always insists upon performance. I am not "religious", if you will, but my nightly prayer is for those who have gone before me; I keep a small book in which I memorialize the names of deceased family members, friends, benefactors, those who have shown my some small kindness in life lest I forgot; two pages, sadly, are now devoted too young men who were "escorts"; the business is, as a matter of fact, neither "easy" nor glamorous in the long run, and, n my opinion, "Lucky" has summed up,correctly, the issues which they faced in life.
