One of the reasons I came down now was to say goodbye to Drummaster's grandmother.
She has known me my entire life and will not be with us when I return. She is no longer responsive and the sun is setting.
I am a changed man since my dates with history. I know that the simplest of trips can lead to the end. I try and enjoy the moment as one never knows when the final chapter is written. Maybe someday I will write about my non PC thoughts of that day.
Maybe the time of honor, duty and self sacrafice are passe in todays world. After the holidays I might return to that subject
All most of us can hope for is to go with honor and in Peace.
I will make the best of my time in Gotham even if my intended purpose did not quite work out. Those of you who are friendly with drummaster can leave a note at his blog.
Merry Christmas to all the members of my blog community.
I should be back in VT Monday.

Oh Beaker-I am sorry, saying good-bye is hard enough, but the mind is still able to hear even if there is no physical response. I hope you took the opportunity to say what is on your heart anyway!
And being there for the family is very important, give my regards to Drummaster!

I try to keep short accounts both with my G-d and with my fellow man just for those life moments. Like you said you will never know when the final chapter will be written.
and prayers to your family.
beak - i sent an e-mail to drummaster at his addy at nicotine rock - i hope it gets to him.
Beak,
I'm sorry to hear this. Preparing to lose someone whom you've known your entire life is so difficult--and sad.
