Ya know,, after putting in 10 , 12 , 14 hour days after this hurricane Sandy.
I'm tired. 2 weeks of running, 700 miles of running under power lines , trees blocking roads , gas lines blocking roads, selfish people, and anything else that could go wrong.
I'm coming into winter here and I am just trying to get all my friends and customers ready. I'm backed up so far it isn't funny.

Gwen's father died this morning. It's funny how things come together.
I have known him for 28 years. He taught my son his first word,,sh*t. we were dropping them off at a ferry and he got the wrong cup of coffee, and the one word he uttered was,, well.... My son repeated that all the way home.

Any way my biggest problem, we were close. (you gave me your daughter and I gave you some grankids )

I guess I am only writing this because deep down I am celebrating his life,,,,

Deep down I am suddenly faced with trying to show my family the triumph of grandpas life.

Sorry, I am not looking for condolences. Thanks anyway.

I'm just tired and it was just one last little kick around things. BUT!!

If I see ONE I'm so sorry Posts. Please don't.

Thanks Guys.
PS,,, Life is short,,, YOU GUYS ARE ALL GREAT!!!!

Sorry to hear about that.

some people say with you even after their gone

we all must go sometime;
but that hardly makes any time a good time.
he had a family that loved him and he will be sorely missed, that in itself is the sign of a life well lived.
that's as good a epitaph as any man can ask.

"A good name is more desirable than great riches;
to be esteemed is better than silver or gold."
Proverbs 22

Thanks guys. If you know me I'm not looking for any sympathy,, I'm just amazed at how when you start to think you have a fire under control,,,,,
Another one starts.

In a stupid way, now I can go and do all the things he thought were very risky. Like small planes.

Boy it's amazing how family dynamics come into play. I'm seeing all the grandkids that are harboring guilt. They are coming in from all over the country.I don't know why, it seems to be a general lack of understanding of life.

Any way, It's sunday morning, for the first time in 2 weeks I have a chance to just stop. That may change in 10 minutes,,,, maybe I'll get lucky.

Thanks for putting up with my little rant.
NOW GO PLAY SOME MUSIC,,,, LIFE IS SHORT!

Yeah,thanks Mark, Underneath it all you are only half the bastard I am, and probably a pretty nice guy.

Have a nice day and keep on rocking.

sorry for your loss, GLENNY J .. it's inevitable..

Glenn, My prayers go out to you and Gwen. Just know he's in a better place, free of the nonsense that earth has been all about... I'm quiet certain he passed the test...and he's been Made in heaven now...
Listen to "Drawing me closer" on my profile. The end of it is precisely what I'm talking about... Draft a tear or not...but just know hes in a glorious place now...

take care of that old lady of your's, glenn...no doubt this had gotta be a pretty tough time for her.

“When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.”
― William Shakespeare

LIVE WELL DIE WELL

Glen, I can't imagine what your family is going thru, I got home from a gig this morning at 3am and saw this. I was obeying your wish by not saying anything! Please know Your family is in our prayers!

You know Jeff,,,, this was just general rant because the more people got power back, the crazier it got with restoring heat because of BLOWN controls and wasted electronics. Then in a whole bunch of other things that can normally go wrong..... I been runnin.

This was just another kick in the pants at the wrong time.
I actually feel great, because I didn't have to run out early and had 2 calls I fixed over the phone.

YA KNOW,,, This is just part of life. I was just bitchin cause when it rains sometimes it just pours. Hurricane sandy,,,, then this.

Thanks you guys are really cool. Thanks.
