Hell is Not a Place; It's a Time: Notes from an Overly Examined Life

By Susan Hart Snyder

Susan Hart Snyder doesn't sleep very well."It's those darn hamsters endlessly spinning the wheels in my brain. On and on they run, their tiny paws racing, their itty-bitty tongues flapping, their pea brains leading them down the circular path to nowhere."In this collection, the title essay "Hell is Not a Place; It's a Time" is a metaphorical reassurance to those who also happen to have their own hamsters scratching around in their brains that they are not the only ones who have raised sweating the small stuff to an art form.In "The Great Thing about Women Is..." and "You Have the Right to Bare Arms" Susan takes a humorous look at her membership in the female tribe. "Everyone Gets a Hall Pass" and "Living Life Every, Every Minute examine lessons generated by her experiences as a teacher. In "What If" and "No Fair" she explores the often poignant and always rocky ground of life's middle ages.For those of you interested in joining Susan's therapy group, the meeting time is 2:30 AM. She hopes to see you there.
