it tolls for thee.
Today I was informed by a friend that someone I and many others know and have worked closely with, passed on Sept 9. This phone call came while I was napping and it really woke me up. All I could do is sit there trying to figure out how, why?
After going through the various stages that are typical, i’ve reached the depressed part. I met up with 9 others for a small informal wake. We spoke of him, our memories, and grieved together. Even though we moved on to talking about other things, I could tell it was still on everyone’s mind, just as it was me. But playing on XBox won’t be the same either, not seeing his name pop up when he logs on. The promises of playing RB or just the occassional msg.
Not many details from the wife, and out of respect for her and his family, I will not mention his name until such time I know how or what she would/wouldn’t want said. There are people that do read my blog who may know of whom I speak of.
God rest friend. You will be missed.
i’m still alive
*second attempt*
I know its been a few weeks…
ok, more then a few.
But things are going well. Physical therapy is helping alot and I am hoping to get back to work in some form this month. We’ll see after the follow-up with the doc this month. Sitting at home is taking its toll on me.
Only time i’ve really gone out these past few months is for PAX. We had a few friends come in town for a week. Because of my back, didn’t do much at all other then sit. But I did get to talk with Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day. Pics coming soon. You should know who Wil is… if not, you suck. Felicia Day on the other hand is really great. A geek and a gamer, besides being an actress. Check out Dr. Horribles Sing-Along Blog and The Guild if you haven’t yet.
Besides going to PAX, we did some sight seeing. Here are pics of that: http://www.crystaloasis.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=3
