Still Here Pt. II

Still here. Forgot I had this blog. Will think of something to say soon so stay tuned. ;-) In the mean time you can look at my drum kit. It's a 70's era blue and clear Vistalite. Yes i am a musician. I play percussion and woodwind (single reeds).

March 10th, 2008

Today is the one year anniversary of my Mothers passing. I was not there when it happened but at home. Mom died in Topeka, KS with her Husband son and daughters by her side. I was at home 180 miles away. My sisters called to say to come quick. By the time I was dressed an ready to go it was to late. However everyone came home to Newton right from the hospital. We got special permission to bring Mom to Newton from the hospital in Topeka. My sisters and Mom rode in the back of my oldest sisters van while my nephew drove. I any my family got the home place cleaned and ready. Two and a half hours later they arrived. I ran to the funeral home to wait for the van. When it arrived I was there to help carry my mother in. It was my only chance to say good by. I do wish I could have been with her at the hospital but I guess it was not meant to be. I miss you Mom. We all do. Eternal Rest grant her O Lord, And May Perpetual Light Shine Upon Her.

Christmas is comming

It's almost December and life seems very surreal. Lights and music of the season are playing everywhere and yet I am not moved by anything. Am I hardend by past events? Past losses? Becoming aware of my own Mortality or even my own Imortality? Anyway just some ramblings for now. If I make sense of any of this I will chime back in......

In the background.

It's been a while since I wrote anything. I am not acustom to writing letalone blogging. But everyonce in a while you have to do something. I do like to visit and comment on other peoples blogs. While doing so I came across someones personal blog. Someone I know and love like my very own. I can see so many things in their writting. Wit, Intelligence, Love, Pain and Sorrow. We share some of the same experiences and history. I can see some if not most of what is behind the words. I wish I could reach out and hold them and cry with them as I did so many years ago. But I can't. They are to far away and I do not want them to know I read their blog. I do not want them to do quit writing and venting and living. So I will continue to play the voyer and keep my distance and watch them grow. I am so glad to have all of them in my life. I hope they all will remember that from time to time. Ok I am done rambling again. It is good I only post once a quarter. Keep eveyone from reading this except me....LOL

Still here - Sort of...

Yes I am still here. As soon as I find something nice to say I will say it. Until then just look at the Jayhawk.... Look into it's eyes.... Do not have fear... Unless your from Nebraska or Harvard... Then fear for your very way of life....

Unitl we meet again....

Go Shocks !!!

This has been a very good year for Basketball in the Kansas area. We are all very excited to have our local boys in the Sweet 16 this year. Hell we would have been happy just to win the first round of the tourny but now.... Why Not. Lets dream for a bit. WSU vs. Bradley for the NCAA National championship. Not only that but WSU winning the game in double overtime 82 to 79 with a beat the buzzer 3pt shot from the far right... Hey could happen. Why Not? We made it this far and a lot of better teams didn't. So lets go Shocks !!!!! Screw the rest of the county. I know you can do it....

Bye the way. I did go to school at KU with Mark T. I passed him and Danny M up and down the hill my freshman year.
