ONLY a MAN

Back in time once again... This time we are almost to the close of 1999 and the fear of the soon to come Y2K Bug. To remind my readers, basically the worry was that when the year changed to 2000 computers were going to crash and all hell was going to break loose. Did it happen??? Fuck if I know!!! As you will soon see, I overserved myself at a New Years Eve party and was able to forget all about our computer crisis and our civilizations impending doom. But I do recall the party and what lead up to me making the decision to have a couple of drinks. A month or so before the end of 1999 Sandstram and I were in the middle of renovating a house we purchased in our neighborhood. Our good friends were also building their dream home a few blocks away. For the sake of the story lets' call the couple Brenda and Dave. One night Dave came over for a visit while I was installing subflooring in in our house. As we shot the shit, out of nowhere a man appeared in the doorway. Strangely on this war...

How quickly we are reminded that not all decisions are in our hands. No matter how much time we prepare and attempt not to worry. Uncontrollable outcomes will rapidly arise and change all of our plans. Unfortunately there is no easy way to change the words or the story. Without notice a panicked call is received. The information given is one of my fears. The worst outlook for our work family member is sadly perceived. Attempt to stay strong and  brave for the family hold back the tears.  At the ER we all impatiently prey and wait. Friends, coworkers, daughters, sons, and an unconsolable wife. What will be our loved ones ultimate fate? Great news is given, my friend  will slowly heal and keeping his life!!! Not exactly what I wanted to type. But it felt right. Hug your loved ones fuckers. Tomorrow is not a promise so do that shit today!!! Peace and Love!!!!
