Yesterday.
Saturday, September 12, 2009. Dies Saturni xii September MMIX.
It started as just another regular day, and ended as a day that would have perhaps the most profound impact possible on my life. It will forever be the day I was reminded that your reality can change in seconds…that what you hold in your hands in this world, is fleeting. It was a day that brought a devastating end.
Yesterday. Yesterday was the day that at age 55, my dad died.
In a heartbeat, his stopped. No prep, no warning, no bargaining.
Today marks the first of what will be a collection of starting points. Today we start the process of figuring out how the world keeps spinning without him. Today we start the waiting game for the magical moment when breathing comes easy. Today we plan for goodbye.
It’s a long road ahead. I intend to pack light.

No possums, you are not hallucinating. Depending on when you get here, you may well find a few hundred posts missing. A database upgrade snafu went sideways, and the valiant attempt with the restoration utility failed. The result is that yours truly is rebuilding from backup…by hand.
One. Tedious. Entry. By. Tedious. Entry.
Please send beer…
