Rest Comfortably

I was saddened to hear the news today that the brilliant George Carlin had passed away. I can remember sneaking around at night to catch a glimpse of Carlin doing his now famous “Seven words you can’t say on TV” routine while my dad watched it on cable. It was more than the adolescent fun of hearing a comedian repeatedly cussing and getting away with it. My young mind was truly entertained and enlightened by the insights of this potty-mouthed philosopher. From that day on I was hooked and gradually learned the power of words.
