TEN GOOD SHOTS, I'LL TAKE THEM ALL
Feb. 13th, 2010 09:22 amRest in peace, Grandma Gladys.
we tried to get down to Walnut Creek before my (step)Grandma passed away. we were about an hour out of Oakland area when Arnie called to tell us she had gone. She was up and about last Wednesday, eating sandwiches, but using an oxygen tank. When my Uncle Neal arrived Friday, she was not conscious or lucid, and didn't regain consciousness before her breathing stopped.
Grandma was diagnosed with Neural Endocrinal cancer, a very aggressive type. It has matastasized in most of her major organs by the time they found it, in late november. Doctors gave her 6 months at that time.
For me, I was a little conflicted whether going down was the right move, I knew that if we missed her, I might be able to attend her memorial, in New Jersey, but at the time, I didn't know when that might be. as it turned out, having the kids there probably lightened everyone's mood. that Santina is quite a charmer...
big ups to Dan and Tacy for taking care of Waffles during our brief but brief absence.
( GIN MILLS OF THE BLIND )
Charlemagne school Mardi Gras party kicked ass. Being on the cleanup crew kicked ass. Santina kicks ass.
Today, I'll attend a songwriter's workshop at Tsunami Bookstore on Willamette (dammit) but I frankly don't have such high hopes for the Q&A and critique, but more for meeting a few cool peeps.
Soothesayers play at Diablo's for a benefit of mr kite. Roller Dirty team the Church of Sk8in, actually. Its gonna be a KILLER show... DO NOT MISS IT.
