Las Momias de Guanajuato, Guanajuato, Mexico 1970

Today, the first day where there is enough normality after our stressful move and I can sit at my computer (it was AWOL for weeks) I thought of the expression, “he is dead”. It occurred to me that there is no real finality in those three words. Finality comes with the addition of, “and buried.”

So I was dead for at least three weeks when I was off facebook (note that facebook should be written in lowercase). Comments and likes disappeared overnight. I was dead. If you are no longer in facebook you are dead. If it cannot be found in Google it does not exist. Kierkegaard would have been depressed.

I wonder what Sartre might have thought of all this. Kierkegaard would have been depressed.

Perhaps it was Christmas 1977 when I sent cards with the above image. There were four of us in the family so I thought it was a good idea. I received many complaints.
