I LIED TODAY

Yes..it's true. Actually I think we all lie. I'm not a cynic, just an observer.

I'll begin with myself. I lied today. It wasn't a big lie. Someone called, I didn't want to speak to them, so I said I was in a terrible rush and couldn't talk. I wan't in a rush. In fact I wasn't doing much of anything. That's certainly not the biggest lie I've ever told, but the others are not for publication.

Now here's something to contemplate. I have a dear friend...I love her...known her since we were both fourteen. We met at a small private school that I will ever be grateful to my parents for choosing...but I digress.

My freind and her husband were wildly affluent...and he was sent to prison for stealing/embessling/skimming...whatever... from his company. My friend told me she knew nothing...that she was entirely innocent. Because I knew her and loved her I believed her. But, riddle me this, what does one do with a suitcase with $900,000 in cash that's legal? She went to prison, but she told me she was innocent so I will continue to believe the lie. Love and lies are strange convoluted things....so be it.
