Reasons to be thankful.

The operation (pace maker) for my grandfather's heart has finally taken hold. He will probably regain much of strength and fortitude. As for his memory of me? Of my face? I don't know. But I still love the old guy. In the face of the bleak and sad thing that is Gavin's death there is one small glimmer. It is that I get to let him go. I get to go to the gathering where others are saying goodbye and let him move on. I never did that with Jerry, and now he gets free rent in my head. Not that I would ever take back one of our chats outside the doors of Del Oro for anything. I get to go make coffee for a bunch of people I love today, and do it really well, and feel appreciated. How about that? Pretty good. I have had the opportunity to be with such quality partners in my life that I would spend time missing and lamenting their absence. Thanks Shaya, Thanks Kim. I guess another reason to find thanks is that Bill Kiley is releasing more tunes: http://billkiley.bandcamp.com/
