Oy and then some.
But first - let's have a look-see at that lovely Unitarian Church in Bedford that Charlie was so much involved with - and wife Peg was the organist! Wish I had interior shots - a lovely speciment if ever there was.
Have received word that Charlie Schwerin has passed this morning at aroubnd 5 AM. Rest easy, my friend.
My sister Charlotte begins her chemotherapy for an inoperable tumor in her left lung today too - she's happy with her doc and all that comes with this decision, I guess. This will be a week-long endurance run for her at Emerson Hospital in Concord, Mass., sa she is getting blasted every day for a week. Her doctor says they'll get it. We like that attitude.

The decision was made on the possibility of opening her and finding that this tumor is too close to an aorta, which would result in closing her back up and then, due to the healing time involved, not be able to to any chemotherapy for two months.
Start the chemo.
My friend Gene goes in today for an ablazion on his kidney, this instead of letting them remove it and the tumor (enough tumor info - enough), with that resulting in a life dedicated to dialysis. He opted out of that, so, stick a needle in and blast the fucking thing to a crisp. Go Girl!
Emily, Katie's daughter (2nd of 3 daughters - NeuMia and Rebecca being the others) called and confirmed Charlie's passing - which had gotten reported openly and widely last Thursday to the Badger Balm crews - Not SO. Hit and miss. Grieve. Cease. Now, grieve. Yikes.
In an hour or so we, Emily and her soon-to-be husband, Mike, and I, will make the haj to Bedford for observances and whatever comes with this new territory.
What a day. I must read a good horoscope and see what the stars are saying.
And it ain't over yet.

Add this to the mix -- I picked up the phone simply becasue (I normally let whatever service employed get the message) and it is old buddy Bill Schuellein, on cell from the 95 near somewhere in Rhode Island. He's on his way to pick up a 1000 cc bike in Brooklyn and asked if I would like to go riding in his neck of the woods sometime soon.
I can do that.
Rebecca's beau purchased an old 200 cc bike this weekend for $300 - how could anyone say no to that? My first ride sans helmet on the east coast in many many moons and my first ride sans helmet since the California law went into effect around 1992. I don't like helmets. At high speed riding on endurance runs, absolutely. Bugs being the main criteria for that choice. I got several in my uncovered eyes in the short ride here Saturday.
Let's go get ready for today.
make it look nice.
