The Daily News
1 What a strange day yesterday was.
2 Once the Seniors are gone, the school just isn't the same.
3 Man, Reagan's corpse wasn't even cold yet and yesterday I saw that Newsweek had a special edition in all the supermarkets. Is it just me, or is that just a little too eager? Well, I guess they are in the business of hawking magazines, and Time evidently did the same, so as always, business is business.
4 I'll bet those stories were written around nine years ago.
5 Nothing surprises me, really.
6 Last night was pretty emotional in my house. I know I keep coming back to it, but my daughters' rooms are getting emptier and emptier, and for whatever reason, it's been really tough on all of us. I'm glad I can act, because I kept a tough-guy face on, but inside, my stomach was upset, and I had a major lump in my throat.
7 I guess I shouldn't. I know the face I'm supposed to throw out there, but it's just that we are all pretty close, so it's a tough one.
8 Good news: my mom came home from this nursing home she has been in for over a year. I called her last night, and she was absolutely elated! She's back home, where she wasn't sure she'd ever be again. She fell down a while back and had surgery which ended up making her unable to walk, or even to sit in a wheel chair. But she stayed up, and strong, and is now home, laughing, joking, and loving it!
9 Sorry to bother y'all with my own personal stuff. It's just...things, you know. I'm actually happy for my daughters because they are learning how to go out there and do it, but still, the notice was pretty short. I'm happy for them, but it's still tough.
10 And just this time of year is always so weird anyway; it seems I'm saying good-bye to lots of people all at once.
11 Oy.
12 Yeesh.
13 I am better now; word of honor, I am better now.
14 I remember author Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. writing that in one of his novels, I think Breakfast of Champions. Right in the middle of writing the book, he began getting all emotional, and then he wrote those words. It killed me. He was writing a fictious novel, and then put himself in his own book. And you know, it worked.
15 So I thought I'd steal it.
16 I am better now.
17 Word of honor.
18 I am better now.
19 Peace.
