...Last weekend's show went just fine, and my early onset dementia seems to have been cured by antibiotics and the renewed ability to breathe.
...I am shocked and saddened by Michael Jackson's death, because his music was in the background of my life for most of my teen and college years. I never had to buy his albums because all I had to do was turn on the radio and one of his songs would come up within a few minutes. His life seems so terribly sad. RIP Michael.
...I feel sad for Farrah Fawcett too, but she had given it the good fight, and also wish her well in the afterward.
...What, now Karl Malden? Well, he was 97. That is a pretty good old age. I hope he was ready to move along as well.
...Closer to home, my friend Jesus's mom passed away after a 7 month fight with brain cancer. For him it is sadness, but also relief, because it is no fun to watch someone suffer so much, and just have to wait for the inevitable. I hope she is exploring whatever it is that comes next, and that he gets to have some freedom from worry and strife. Grief will be natural, but so is feeling unburdened and lightened to a certain extent. RIP Chuy's mama.
To get away from death, this weekend we have a celebration of the birth of our country, so make the most of it! It's not perfect, and we are still some of the most ornery cussed people around, but we have a new beginning this year, and time will tell how it all goes. Have faith, and try to keep from dying so we can all see how it turns out.
