The 5th Horseman
Here is another great read from James Patterson and Maxine Paetro entitled 'The 5th Horseman. This is a detective mystery novel about a homicide detective by the name of Lindsey Boxer, a detective lieutenant and her best friend Yuki Castellano and a few other friends and co-workers. There are two cases that seem to be intertwined one dealing with malpractice and one with aspects like an angel of death. There are two phrases in this story that will make you think 'A bad wind blows' and when someone says, 'I plead the fifth on the grounds that it may incriminate me.' James Patterson and Maxine Paetro have written a novel that is many chapters, but are very short that makes this a fast read that one would like to savor but cannot wait to see how it ends.

Anniversary
This is not for a Vocal+ entry that is going on, but my view of this word 'anniversary'. An anniversary is a chance to say to people congratulations on many accounts as in being married many years or the sadness of losing someone special or just a birthday anniversary of someone lost. It is a time to remember some occasion.

Soap Opera
Anyone out still watch the daytime dramas? To be honest I still watch short snippets of the ones still on television. My favorite back in high school was General Hospital and even today I still watch maybe at the most a half hour or so. My other favorites which are no longer on were All My Children, One Life to Live and Ryan's Hope. When I was little there were a few that I watched with my mom for I was not in school yet and they were 'The Secret Storm' and 'Love of Life' and I think 'The Doctors' and 'Days of Our Lives' which is still on today. They covered so many issues from drugs, sex, divorce and many other issues to numerous to list here. The characters were like family at times even though at various times in the stories all you wanted to do was slap them silly for some very stupid acts.

The New Heaven and the New Earth
Anyone out there that believe in the idea of the New Heaven and the New Earth. I have read in a spiritual newsletter that this is when Heaven comes down to Earth. There will be no pain of any kind. There will be plenty of food and water. It will be a chance to catch up with family members that have gone before.

The Time Traveler Who Visited the Future. AI-Generated.
One of the most intriguing stories in the realm of the unexplained is that of a man named Al Bielek, who claimed to have experienced time travel and witnessed the future. His tale, often met with skepticism and fascination, intertwines with conspiracy theories and secret government experiments, painting a picture of a world that seems to straddle the line between science fiction and reality.
