It Just Doesn't Stop

You know, you get to that point ......I guess we all do.

It is pretty much inevitable.

Just found an obituary for a friend I went to school with, played in band with, and had recently friended on Facebook.

This is 4 people in the last 2 weeks I know either through Vidor Schools or Lamar who have passed away.

All of these people are within a year of my age. 

Then my Mother called and told me about a cousin of mine who has been place in hospice in the last 24 hours.

I know I've been feeling pretty crappy as far as my back and joints, and I know this is from a combination for stuff....including just getting old.

To be honest, I am not ready to go. I still want to see the Highlands of Scotland. New Zealand. Nova Scotia and stay longer. Maybe Hawaii?  Maybe Norway?

I don't know. Perhaps it is not foreordained for me to go to some of these places?

The old "Govteach" is a little melancholy this afternoon.
