"Fair warning, friends — this article will not be one of my most eloquent, cohesive, or meticulously..." This is my favorite kind of essay... Then again, I am a flibbertigibbet with ADHD, SQUIRELL...

Old friends are dying. Well, we old people do that. I haven't started following the obituaries, mostly because I am not likely to recognize any names having been estranged from family and few friends... This year took it's toll... And I suppose, the older I get- the more likely I will hear someone crossed...

Ahhh, look- my friend Andre has read and commented here! I love that guy. I wonder, as we loose folks, we open up ourselves for some new old folks...

At least we can still share a Jim Croce song... Do you suppose these young folks know what they're missing?

"Don't spit into the wind. You don't pull the mask off of old lone ranger, and you don't mess around with Jim...." :) You're awesome, Kathy.
