Nothing takes the steam and high drama out of a suicide ritual like the sudden intrusion of the mundane. Even at such a dark moment, I could see the black humor in the situation. I remember thinking later that if Charlie Brown had a severe mental illness, this is exactly the kind of thing that would happen to him. It was probably about the 30th try when I actually went through with it. The downside of being registered on the "Do not call" list, I guess. But I have finally thrown out that damned "suicide kit" box that I kept in my bedroom closet for years. Atticus
