And Watching For Pigs On The Wing
If You Didn't Care What Happened To Me Jenny was too tired, too weak and in too much pain to accompany Abby and me on the hunt. The best laid plans. . .and all of that. So, Abby and I went and did recon all over South Seattle. From Thornton Creek/Northgate to Judkins Park to South Beacon, we met our realtor and explored. We found no gold, lots of dross, and a bit of something in-between. I called Jenny from each place, giving her my impression of each. After we finished, Abby and I went and dropped a lot of money on gear for the dog, and grabbed lunch at Sprouts, a chain grocery store I used to frequent in my California days and which has established a beachhead at 130th and Aurora. Jenny managed to get up around 1145 and go to lunch with friends. She was weak and tired the whole time, I could tell, hearing it in her voice every time I called. She came home and was feeling low. Sad and angry her eyes were, her mien sad and quiet....
And Then One Day You Find Ten Years Have Got Behind You
Entry 1 Goals, Planning, And Dark At The End Of The Tunnel When I was in my mid-20s, I lived a mile or so away from my friend Shaun, who was 21. We met when I was a counselor at Camp Waskowitz MDA camp and he a camper. MD stands for muscular dystrophy. Shaun had Duchenne's, a particularly virulent genetic disorder that kills all the muscles in your body, slowly, starting generally around the age of 2. 99.9999 percent of people with Duchenne's don't make 20. I could go into the science of the disease, but suffice it to say, it is a fucker. Time Flies Anyway, one day, Shaun calls me up and asks me to come over. He said he needed to talk to me. We were friends, not close friends, but bonded after spending more than a decade together with others at camp. I hopped in my truck and headed over. When I got there, his parents were gone, or just leaving. I don't remember. Given that he couldn't move any part of his body save his fingers and his head, they...
Your Lips Move, But I Can't Hear What You Say
Jan 20 2021 Family Meeting JANUARY 20, 2021 How was the party? 9:46 AM I am at a hotel, hanging with Abby. Jenny called a family meeting, earlier today after I returned from the hotel. She told the kids the marriage was broken long before Eric. Also, she barely sees him. I said that I would contest that. That I thought things were getting better, we had been looking for a house (even if true, doesnt justify aggressively lying to me) and the kids and I thought things had improved. I said i am leaving because of Eric the pinché motherfucker. She then, for whatever reason, started telling the kids she only learned in sept that i had sex with sonia multiple times. The kids made her stop. It was despicable. She just kept on going, saying she doesnt know if she has 1, 2, 3 or six months, so she has to make the most of it. Began to explain this is why she is out with friends all the time. Leiney told her she was mad at her. She said it seems like whenever she feels well, s...
