Well, it's been a tiny while. Been a bunch of little developments in my life, but nothing worth mentioning.

Except for a good friend's Mom being diagnosed with cancer and being given 2 months to live. So sad. And he is only a few years older than I. Such a sad sad thing. And then a friend tells me that the next time I see him, his Mom will be dead. How morbidly unappropriate?!?!?! He is leaving in a couple days to go to PA to be with her until she dies. Then he will be back here, but he might not stay. And I can't blame him. Just a sad situation that really does its job grounding me and realigning my priorities.

So I am flying back a week from tomorrow AM. Just for the weekend. See some old friends. See an old friend near her birthday. Drink some Magner's. And refresh my memory. Let me see what the old home is like. And why I want to go back so badly.

Been listening to a lot of music and drinking a lot of beer and playing a lot of pool lately. It's a good thing. My liver begs to differ, but I have been SO much worse to it for SO much longer, that it needs to shut up.

Speaking of which...off to see if one of the objects of my desire is working. Maybe I should find out her name.
