Some more things about -who else?

I began this blog in the end of 2004.

I was experiencing a big shake up in my family. That, in turn triggered memories of my father's suicide in 1988.

So, in early 2005 I began recounting some stories of my father's life and death.

Coincidentally Hunters S Thompson then offed himself.

I was outraged that he would do this till I saw his emaciated condition in a press photo taken in his kitchen office in his home in Aspen.

Next my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer in the end of April 2005.

I have been blogging continuously through her illness and her death.

I feel the urgency to blog daily as this is a reference point for my life.

Forgive me if I slow down a little, I promise I won't go away.

I've become painfully aware I haven't done enough for myself in a good long while.

I'll be around but if there are lapses you'll know why.
