Now you are probably used to me making an observation or a funny quip about an occurance that has happend recently but no sir you are wrong this time. My blog tonight is just a test run. Testing my ability to commit myself once again to writing. Testing my once resolute resolve to write whatever came to my mind.
Back to the days of when I lived in a basement and the thought of the "internet" and connectivity was just for those people in the army and NASA. Pen and paper and actual letters was all we had back in 1992. I would wait with bated breath for that one scented letter to arrive from my sweetheart and I would read it over and over... then I would call her and run up a $400 phone bill.
A very important event did happen today that I believe does deserve some attention.
Today one of life's inevitable occurances happend. I went to the wake of Tom Rundell. Tom was married to Mimi, my adopted grandmother of Shawn Mikulich. Shawn and I have been friends since 4th grade and I have adopted just about every member of his family as my own. Mimi and Tom were married for 27 years and were very happy together. She is one of the sweetest people I know who holds onto her traditions and values. Her French accent is unmistakable and still speaks it I believe with her daughter Linda. Tom was very loved and will be sorely missed by his family and myself. May you rest in peace.
Andre
