Yeah, I'm with Dana about folks younger than me.
I woke up in the middle of the night a few months ago with the random thought "when my grandfather was my age, he'd been dead for three weeks." And when I looked at a calendar, sure enough it was true. My subconscious is a fucking bastard, I tell you what.
Sucks about Jame VdB. We are the same age. Eek.

I definitely expect at least a few things to come down to this.
I have relatives who died in car accidents when they were ninety.
It's another sort of pressure.

Happiest of happy birthday wishes go out to Pix today! I hope you are being spoiled today, and that the year to come brings all you hope for and more.
Also sending birthday greetings to Maria, hoping she feels the love.

Yeah, we’re only in sporadic contact mostly because he has two jobs and plays in several bands so our text conversations are always asynchronous and spread thin over time. Anyway, he and his first wife were living with her parents in Texas: brother working on getting sober, wife very much not. She was stepping out on him and actually killed the guy she was seeing by hitting him with a car. I am pretty sure I trauma dumped about it here, but that was years ago, now. So brother moved out but stayed friendly with her parents and didn’t want to file for divorce while she was on trial and all that.
