Because of my love for literature I guess it was natural that I would gravitate to teaching English. I was married while I was in college and for financial reasons I sidetracked my teaching desire for a bit to go into advertising with the Chicago Tribune. There was some creativity possible there, but after a few months I was counting the bumps on the road as I traveled from client to client. An opportunity opened up at my old high school in Madison Wisconsin to teach. This was a long time ago. Being a full-time teacher, baseball coach, and yearbook adviser, I made the enormous salary of $5000. With one daughter already born and two more on the way for the next six years we barely survived financially. Still feeling the pinch monetarily, I decide to take a business venture to Philadelphia selling yearbooks. For one year as I sat in school offices waiting to talk to Principals, I discovered I was paying attention much more to the students than my sales pitch. So back I went into teaching and stayed there for the next thirty-four years. I knew now I was in the right field. When I retired after forty total years in teaching, I looked forward to freedom from getting up each morning at five A.M. However, that freedom came with a price--boredom. There was only so much TV I could watch. I decided to take up writing, and I've been doing that ever since The only real tragedy in my life is that two years ago our dog of seventeen years died. As people have told me the memory of a loved one never dies, and I have found this to be true. Cassandra is still alive in my brain. However, our cat, Hazel, at fourteen is still going strong. We (I) have overfed her, and truthfully when she goes outside she has been mistaken for a raccoon. We currently live in the Philadelphia countryside across from a horse farm.

Download or read book How to Murder Your Life written by Cat Marnell and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author and former beauty editor Cat Marnell, a “vivid, maddening, heartbreaking, very funny, chaotic” (The New York Times) memoir of prescription drug addiction and self-sabotage, set in the glamorous world of fashion magazines and downtown nightclubs. At twenty-six, Cat Marnell was an associate beauty editor at Lucky, one of the top fashion magazines in America—and that’s all most people knew about her. But she hid a secret life. She was a prescription drug addict. She was also a “doctor shopper” who manipulated Upper East Side psychiatrists for pills, pills, and more pills; a lonely bulimic who spent hundreds of dollars a week on binge foods; a promiscuous party girl who danced barefoot on banquets; a weepy and hallucination-prone insomniac who would take anything—anything—to sleep. This is a tale of self-loathing, self-sabotage, and yes, self-tanner. It begins at a posh New England prep school—and with a prescription for the Attention Deficit Disorder medication Ritalin. It continues to New York, where we follow Marnell’s amphetamine-fueled rise from intern to editor through the beauty departments of NYLON, Teen Vogue, Glamour, and Lucky. We see her fight between ambition and addiction and how, inevitably, her disease threatens everything she worked so hard to achieve. From the Condé Nast building to seedy nightclubs, from doctors’ offices and mental hospitals, Marnell “treads a knife edge between glamorizing her own despair and rendering it with savage honesty.…with the skill of a pulp novelist” (The New York Times Book Review) what it is like to live in the wild, chaotic, often sinister world of a young female addict who can’t say no. Combining “all the intoxicating intrigue of a thriller and yet all the sobering pathos of a gifted writer’s true-life journey to recover her former health, happiness, ambitions, and identity” (Harper’s Bazaar), How to Murder Your Life is mesmerizing, revelatory, and necessary.

Download or read book The Perversion of Virtue written by Thomas Joiner and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the approximately 38,500 deaths by suicide in the U.S. annually, about two percent--between 750 and 800--are murder-suicides. The horror of murder-suicides looms large in the public consciousness--they are reported in the media with more frequency and far more sensationalism than most suicides, and yet we have little understanding of this grave form of violence. In The Perversion of Virtue, leading suicide researcher Thomas Joiner explores the nature of murder-suicide and offers a unique new theory to explain this nearly unexplainable act: that murder-suicides always involve the wrongheaded invocation of one of four interpersonal virtues: mercy, justice, duty, and glory. The parent who murders his child and then himself seeks to save his child from a fatherless life of hardship; the wife who murders her husband and then herself seeks to right the wrongs he committed against her, and so on. Murder-suicides involve the gross misperception of when and how these four virtues should be applied. Drawing from extensive research as well as real examples from the media, Joiner meticulously examines, deconstructs, and finally rebuilds our understanding of murder-suicide in such a way that brings tragic reason to what may seem an unfathomable act of violence. Along the way, he dispels some of the most enduring myths of suicide--for instance, that suicide is usually an impulsive act (it is almost always pre-meditated), or that alcohol or drugs are involved in most suicides (usually they are not). Sure to be controversial, this book seeks to make sense of one of the most difficult-to-comprehend types of violence in modern society, shedding new light that will ultimately lead to better understanding and even prevention.
