Why I don’t believe the world is ending on 12.21.12 or
anytime soon: 
-Because my library books are due that day. I couldn’t be so
lucky as the world to end that day.  
-Because my father said only two things are guaranteed death
and taxes – and the latter are going off the fiscal cliff a week or so later or
at least are not due to April 15.   
-Because every Jewish holiday comes down to this classic Alan
Ladd quip: “They tried to kill us. We survived. Let’s eat.” We are still hungry
– the world can’t end until we are all fed. 
-Because on my 30 birthday (a few years ago!) a
psychic took my drunken palm and told me I’d live to be at least 86. I believe
this Times Square psychic more than the Mayans.  
-Lastly, the world will not end on 12.21.12 because I still
need to dance at my son’s and daughter’s weddings and they are only 12 and 7,
because I still need to write my adult novel, because I still need to see Rome
and Jerusalem and the Grand Tetons.  And because I have miles to go before I sleep. And miles to
go before I sleep. 
Your thoughts on 12.21.12??

Truly,
author of LIEand because LIE still needs to be
promoted, bought, read.
