Sad News
I discovered late Sunday evening that Rob, an old friend who we hardly saw anymore, passed away Saturday. And by "old" friend, I don't mean he was old - he was in his mid-30s. He leaves behind a 9-year-old daughter.
Rob was one of those people who, upon first seeing him, you wondered whether he was going to beat the crap out of you. But when you actually met him, he was a lovable teddy bear who brightened the room when he walked in. When you talked to him, he gave you his full attention and acted like you were the most important person in the world. And it didn't matter how long it had been since he'd last seen you.
He'll be missed.
New (and Crappy) Beginnings
Happy New Year!
And what a start it's been! By 12:30 a.m., the toilet had backed up (and overflowed) and when I threw the towels in the washer that I'd used to clean up that mess, the drain (to the sewer) backed up. Thank God we have a pool and tons of swimming towels! We'll see how things have gone down by tomorrow to determine if we need to call a plumber - and when.
I'm off to bed - my turn to get up early with the toddler.
