Home again

Made it home again safely. I’ve put together a gallery of pictures from the vacation here, hope you enjoy them!

As if to remind me of why it’s important to enjoy these things in your life while you can, I returned home to news that one of my roomates from way back in my college years passed away from diabetes complications last week. It was someone I had lost contact with over the years, and probably haven’t even heard from in 10 years or so, but reading about his death brought back a lot of good memories of times we had in that house on Summit Street. Memories I haven’t thought about in a long time.

I wrote this in an email the other day and after reading it again in the reply something about it struck me. I didn’t mean for it to be a deep philosophical statement, but it sort of is. (I’m blaming the lack of caffeine). “The one constant in life is change” I realized in reading…

My wife and I went to see A Beautiful Mind tonight. It was a good movie, but a difficult one for me to watch. Anything that reminds me of the complete emptiness that losing time created in my soul is tough for me to swallow. Watching John come to grips with his delusions, and the…

  1. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of friend…life is so complicated that way and yes, you are right – it is my rule of thumb to never again take for granted those that I love – to enjoy every moment possible with them because tomorrow may never come.
