He received a photo from a
scholarship luncheon via e-

mail of him, his wife and the
recipient of a college scholar-

ship in his late wife’s name.
He sent a note back to the

sender of the photo, some-
one he knew. He asked if

the photo could be photo-
shopped to give him hair,

eliminate the bags under
his eyes and remove the

turkey neck. He added a
smiley emoji. It has been

said that in the resurrect-
ion, everyone comes back

as beautiful thirty-five-year-
olds. See, he thought to

himself, hope springs eternal.
Then in a moment of further

rumination, he wondered if
there wasn’t a stage in later

life called “This Guy Is Totally
Delusional.”
