and that’s that…
a friend from high school died this morning…he had a stroke a week or so ago…the plan was to move him to a hospice this week…the doctors were giving him “comfort drugs”; they said he might have about 2 weeks left…after having gone our separate ways, and the passing of several years, he and I reunited on Facebook a couple of years ago, maybe more…there was also a face to face meeting, and a birthday surprise cooked up by him and another high school friend of ours…we went to a Balmer Orioles game at Camden Yards–we took the Light Rail…
I wanted to visit him in the hospital…and I DIDN’T wanna visit him in the hospital…I was planning to go visit him at the hospice…I didn’t really wanna do THAT either, but it felt like the right thing to do…I don’t know if he would have known I was there or even who I was; but just in case, I wanted to go…now I feel like I should go to his funeral…the roomie is willing to allow that, UNLESS it’s this coming Friday…place yer bets…I bet it will be this Friday…if I was a praying man…well, I woulda prayed that Skip get better…I’m just hoping the funeral will be on Thursday so I can go…
UPDATE–the funeral is a week from yesterday, I think I’ll be able to go…I’m not even gonna ask about going to any of the viewings…and I don’t really wanna go to those anyway…strange as it seems, I feel like I need “closure” on this…
I had a talk with SLR earlier today…I kinda sorta in a way told her that I was not really into playing with her anymore…I didn’t exactly tell her why…and like I’ve said here before, I don’t feel like playing Music with ANYBODY except maybe Lou…but apparently Lou doesn’t wanna play with me anymore…I have no idea why…I hate mysteries…
