Just off the phone with a dear friend from long ago, now in Australia and, as he puts it “dotting i’s and crossing t’s” before cancer takes him down. It was a very sweet and very sad conversation. In the midst of it, learned that another long lost contact from the same era, who ran the open mike at the Common Ground in Bristol, died suddenly in November. And this weekend the wake and services for a more recent dear friend and student.
Death stalks. All we can do is get out of bed and beat it back for one more day.
