Wow.
That last post, I hinted at some stuff going on, under the surface. Just stuff I've let pile up that I have to deal with, and you all know how that goes.
I was slapped in the face by perspective, and given new affirmation for my recent decision to exponentially strengthen my drive in areas of my life that I care about and feel I've let slide.
See, a very good friend of mine (yesterday I was surprised when I found myself referring to him as one of my best friends) just started a job on Monday at the theatre where I did MUSIC MAN in the fall. Tuesday night he learned his father in Baltimore had died, somewhat suddenly. He hadn't been in great health, but there was no warning of imminent mortality, and ...
Well, you can't get much more perspective than that. Other problems, other issues pale in comparison. To be lucky enough to love and be loved, be it family, friends, or whatever, and spend time with them is ... well, funny how that ties in to everything.
My prayers and sympathies are with you and yours, Thom, and I hope that somehow there will be some merriment in your Christmas.
