It will be four years tomorrow, that I lost 2 friends in a terrorist attack on the gay nightclub Pulse. Last year, @Mikiesboy and @AC Benus put together a tribute to them, from several writers from GA. I recommend it for anyone that hasn't read it yet.

Hug someone, tell them you love them, don't let them slip away.

 I am sorry for your loss.  It was very shocking.  Let me see if I can find the photo of a corner in SF's Castro where they put the flowers for the memorial.  Hanging tight.  I should remember your words.

EDIT: The San Francisco Weeps for Orlando photo is in gallery now.

Michael found it somewhere online.  We've seen Band of Brothers, which is also excellent.

What came to mind originally was the play Pacific Overtures [I never can remember it's name correctly]. A play that has the most beautiful song w. horrible lyrics and implications -- "Pretty Lady"

Good morning, rick.

So far so good, though being woken up to the strains of a chainsaw wasn’t so fun.

Hope your day is going well.

Wishing good results for Mike. Also, I have to say I really like the title Wild Maple Farm. There’s just something about it...

Thanks. The lab is just up the street, not far. So He won't be gone for long.

i'm glad you like it. It's turning into a rather special place.

They are trying to figure out why He has dizzy spells and He needs it done for His 3 month check for the diabetes as well.  Lord, He just texted me: The lab is packed, lined up out the door and down the hall.  Good grief.

That’s great news, molly. I’m glad she was able to have a graduation ceremony of sorts to mark this milestone.
