Emily, Pappy and I attended a funeral today. Emily's ex - Greg Egan - passed away on January 17th. Apparently, he had been battling colon cancer for about a year and a half. The last time Mara and I saw him was when I was getting dressed at the hospital after second knee surgery. THAT was weird...and random. He had lost a lot of weight, but we weren't sure if it was intentional. Even though we didn't see eye to eye, cancer is a horrible way to go and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
He was only 43.
(I haven't been able to stop thinking about him this past week. Now I wish I had said "Hi" to him when we saw him - instead of freaking out and hiding. Kinda petty on my part.)
After we left the funeral, we had an adventure. I had to pick up my new Tibetan woven wall hanging at an auction house (it's pretty cool!) and then Emily wanted to try and new carry-out restaurant she follows on Facebook. It's call Sweets & Meats BBQ (located in Mt. Washington) and holy crap...it was delicious!! After our picnic in the car, we went across the street to St. Vincent de Paul. I found a couple of things (nice watercolor of a sailboat and a vase for my anthurium) and Pappy got a really nice cane. We went to the Goodwill in Bellevue next where I found a (holy crap!) Frankoma Pottery Prairie Green pitcher marked $3.00 and since, it was 50% off store-wide, I only paid $1.50! Score!
Back to the grind now, though. So demanding of my brains....NOT.
Here's the last of the first batch of randomness...well, that's convoluted.
Enjoy.
