Mc

Many people are taking the Great Escape lately. My brother Glenn just a few years ago and alot of friends. Just a little over a year ago I was tailgating in a hot Summer parking lot in Queens New York with a bunch of friends and two brothers. I was just looking at the photos we took and posted on Facebook. Everybody seems so happy and healthy. I spent hours talking with my friend Jonny and quite suddenly I look at that photo today and he is gone. I would need three hands to count the friends that have just disappeared lately.

Jim McSherry was a different story you see. Jim McSherry was strong in muscle and character. Jim McSherry would never die. He never told me he was dying when he was trying to reach out to me. He was never on Social Media, didn’t understand or like computers. I received a few text messages from him and it seemed like he was saying goodbye. I just shrugged it off as his dramatic personality.
I am so happy that I did call him….. finally. We talked for several hours. He told me a story of how a long time ago his wife Susan and his family were homeless. They broke down on the side of the road and a cop pulled over to help them. His help went on for years after that. Eventually giving them a temporary home until they got on their feet. That was just like Jim. Here he was preparing for the great escape and all he could talk about was how someone had helped him deeply in his life and he would never forget it.

I haven’t see Jim McSherry in almost three decades, yet it always seems like he was there in my life. Years would go by before we talked. It is a strange thing to feel so close to someone that isn’t even there.

This taken many years ago. This photo is so old, I was still living home. The McSherrys had moved to Arizona and Jim came back to visit. I beleive his jaw is wired here from a fist fight he had in a cactus filled desert. The location was somewhere in Port Reading by the railroad tracks. It was early morning. I’m impressed with myself to have a camera with me at the time. We were drinking Jack Daniels straight out of the bottle and singing Grateful Dead songs. Jim was playing harmonica. I remember going home so messed up and crawling to bed and staying there for two days. I remember my mother coming to my room feeling sorry for me and helping me recover.

Jim McSherry was a Golden Gloves boxer and part of his training would be to run from his house on Tennyson Street up Harrison Avenue to the VFW and back again. Then he would sprint the last few hundred yards. I followed him on my bike every night when he did this. My mind has taken a photograph of him huffing and puffing, taking off his shirt and recovering from one of those runs. There was sweat poring off him into puddles on the street. I carried this mind photgraph of him with me to this day. Jim McSherry – the strongest, the bravest, the funniest man I ever knew. He took me to places I would have never went without him. His love of life, family, art, music and God were his glowing aura that will last forever.

    Do you know each other? best generic effexor xr To a great extent, this is an intergenerational transfer. Now we didn’t need David Willets to tell us that we baby-boomers have never had it so good and our good fortune is to some extent at the expense of the young, who have to pay for our index-linked state pensions and all the benefits in kind we enjoy. But it is also because my generation was brought up to believe that security came from saving, whereas the young are far more inclined to borrow – hence Britain’s disastrously-low saving rate, far below that of almost any of our competitors. Throughout the post-war period Britons have seen their savings expropriated by the authorities by a combination of raids on pension funds, more taxation and high inflation. Unsurprisingly, they have responded by over-investing in housing, the only asset available to ordinary folk that seemed to be sheltered from the vagaries of economics and the greed of politicians –– which brings me to the second area where QE is doing a lot of damage.

    Fast food is part of our society and provides warm meals at a reasonable price to many who are constantly on the go. However, with the shift to slightly lower-calorie offerings and the availability of nutrition facts, folks have the ability to choose items that can fit into a healthy eating plan. And although you can drive through a fast-food joint on any given night, fast-food fare should only be eaten occasionally.
