Two Conversations
Two Conversations: We missed each other John W. Gilmore It is my turn to speak at Sunday Meeting. It's always interesting, but I am sure I can find something better to do on such a beautiful day. As a volunteer I lead Dharma talks once a month at the temple and am labeled a Dharma Master, which is interesting. All I do, however, is just meditate and speak. It all seems to flow. Today we will have a mixture of members and expats who are thinking of making their new home in Panama. You never know who to expect there. I begin to speak by telling my story.

I Was A Robot
I Was A Robot--Amazing! John W. Gilmore “I love to listen to the sound of silence sometimes so at 3AM I sit on the back porch and look up at the stars. We don’t have that much humidity here. The days are hot and every evening the temperature drops to almost 60 degrees. The sky is cloudless at night. Millions of stars and planets stand out against the darkness and every so often we get a chance to see that beautiful, full moon. But the full moon isn’t for everyone, is it?” I looked at my subject and leaned back in my chair.

The Legacy
The Legacy: Living on Eggshells John W. Gilmore “I can’t imagine being anywhere else, can you?” She asked, large brown eyes blinking, sitting in front of the TV watching Star Search 2550. “There are bad things going on in the world...horrible. I’ll admit that,” she said, “but you have to learn to roll with the punches sometimes. Tim, your problem is that you aren’t rolling.” She pointed the remote at the TV and began to click through channels. She paused and looked at me. “Roll Dear. You better roll because you really don’t have a choice.”

We Fell Down
We Fell Down And Got Saved? John W. Gilmore I climbed up the steep incline. There were large boulders, loose gravel, and paths slanted on tight angles that could send me sliding down into the ravine 100ft below. Why was I doing this? I guess I wanted freedom. They said they were here...the last few humans left after the Artificial Life Form (ALF) takeover, living like animals among the rocks and stones. I took a few more steps until I found a very small crack in the side of the cliff. I felt sick and tired. It had been a three day journey. I pushed my way in and collapsed to the floor.

You Finally Did It
You Finally Did It: You can see me now John W. Gilmore Just one big swallow and it would all be over. It was getting cold. Even if I didn’t drink the poison I would freeze to death. That’s the way I had planned it. I lay there looking up at the hole at the top of my large tent. It was freezing there in the wilderness of Alaska. People wouldn’t find my body until break up, or I would be eaten by some type of animal or something. I didn’t think I would like that so I zipped the tent even tighter so nothing could get in.

Wyndmoor Going Upscale
Wyndmoor Going Upscale Dr. John W. Gilmore My little town nuzzled against Mount Airy and Chestnut Hill is changing at Traymore and Willowgrove Aves. New shops and buildings have been popping up while others, old stores, small business, and gas stations that served the neighborhood well, have been disappearing under the shovel and hammer of progress. The most recent change was a large condo unit replacing our gas station, our small but convenient hardware store, and a few houses and small businesses. Some of the condos costed as much as 400,000 dollars. Rumor has it they have already been sold.

Tom Tom Was A Big Cat:
Tom Tom Was A Big Cat: Tails of the East Side of Town John W. Gilmore Tom Tom was a big cat...the biggest I have ever seen. Some may think Tom Tom was a Maine Coon Cat. They are often giants with very long, shaggy hair. They are big enough to look like small cougars. Tom Tom wasn’t like that. Tom Tom wasn’t shaggy. Tom Tom was your typical domesticated cat, but he was very big.
