A Charmed Life

I came very close to meeting my maker in a head on collision with a garbage truck. It missed me by a foot before swerving away. I stopped the car and looked at the tracks that it had left, and the closeness made me ponder my existence. Last year, I was in a major accident at this same time of year. I meet with my job counselor today, and she said that I lead a charmed life. She didn't know anything about the near miss. This made me think of John Prine's song "The Accident." By the way, I own this DVD. The next song come from the same show. It has so much meaning for me on so many levels: "Bruised Orange." The next song is just for fun:" Please Don't Bury Me." The last is for the season: "Christmas in Prison."
