Episode 225 - Poe Review, 1 is a brief look (through a conversation with the ghost of Mr. Poe and George) regarding the 1st half of Mr. Poe's life - his earliest years up to Stoke Newington. Originally, I called this episode Catchup!, but I later decided that a better title might be Poe Review, 1. The idea is for this podcast to relate events in Poe's existence up to the half-way point in the story of his illustrious life. Sources include: Edgar Allan Poe: A Critical Biography by Arthur Hobson Quinn, The Poe Log: A Documentary Life of Edgar Allan Poe by Dwight R. Thomas and David K. Jackson, and the Life of Edgar A. Poe by Eugene L. Didier.

Life is often describe as "The Game of Life". Therefore, Life can be both accurately and fairly compared to the games of basketball and football as they both are played in four quarter intervals and two halves. If you were to ask your family or friends who won the first half of the last basketball or football game they witnessed, few if any could accurately reply. Yet if you asked the same group who won the last basketball or football game they watched and received an answer, they will have expressed who won The Second Half of that game. In essence it doesn't matter who wins in the first half. The Games of Life, Basketball and Football are all indeed won in The Second Half. The Second Half is referred to by some as a New Beginning, the fourth quarter, crunch time, gut check time or that point in the game and life when YOU realize its not too late but it's Now or Never. Welcome To Life In The Second Half! David K. Jackson is a Pastor, Life Coach, Motivational Speaker, Certified Personal Trainer, Writer and Proud United States Marine that was selected to serve in the very elite Marine Security Guard Program, where he fulfilled the duty of providing personal security for high ranking United States political figures and Foreign Dignitaries.
