February Part 3 Dad's last day

Thursday, February 24
5:14 pm Hey, kid.  Had greek lunch… including galaktoboureko for dessert!  That sweet creamy custard tasted so good!
5:29 pm  Saw dad, in a coma now.  Sang “Amazing Grace” to him anyway.  Sigh. 
6:02 pm Phil:  You know, he can hear you.  He knows you are there and it warms his heart.  Keep singing and talking to him.  This is so hard.  We’re at the age where this happens.  Glad you enjoyed a good lunch.  Been another late busy day here.  I’m gonna go work out and then finish off the pile on my desk.
6:45 pm Thought there would be drama at the end, but he is peaceful…. Good to see.  Off to event #8! 
11:02 pm  Event done – great audience, laughed at everything!  So fun!  Hope your papers got done easily.  Headed home.  Sleep well, kid.
11:24 pm Phil:  Nite, glad it went well
11:43 pm Oh, kid.  I am so revved up!  Maybe good you weren’t within reach… I would burn us both up.  😉
Friday, February 25
9:02 am My dad died half an hour ago.  Mom called me. Headed to be w/ her.
9:05 am Phil: I’m so sorry Sassy.  I’ve thought of him often.  My memories of him are fond ones.  I’m sure anyone who knew him thinks of him that way.  He earned his place in heaven.  Prayers for your Mom, you and your sisters during this hard time.
11:11 am Thank you, Philip.  You say such perfect words.  I am so glad you found me.  Sorry my life is so strange right now, but you make a big difference.
11:21 am Phil: Life is a strange thing, it’s how you deal with and manage the strangeness that counts.  Take care of your Mom.

Thank you. I appreciate this.  Learned things I didn’t know! 

=================
7:48 pm Got a lot done.  Kept Mom and older sister from fighting.  J  Now on to event #9 and hugs.  Hope your weekend is off to a good start.
1:00 am Phil: Good.  Wandering around the bar keeping the junior staff from misbehaving
1:05 pm Wow.  You’re up late.  Just got in, went out w/ peeps for Mexican.
1:07 am The idea of you chaperoning is… different.
2:12 am Phil: It’s a little weird for me too.
2:12 am Phil: Snowing again.
2:34 am  Why are you still awake?  J
2:37 am We got the whole range today – 50 with monsoon rain, sleet, then huge snowflakes as we drove this evening. Typical New Enlgand wait 10 min and its changes.
2:28 am I’ve been talking to sis, in travel nightmare trying to get home early from CA.  The incoming plane missed curfew, landed 3 hours away, so they’re busing the entire plane load up there to board the red eye… and the bus got hit by a drunk driver!  Been a very odd day for her all around.
3:01 am Bed for me… Sleep well, sweet man.  Thanks for all your support!  I’ll never forget your threads in the tapestry of this day.  Even if they are green.  J

Saturday, February 26
7:38 pm Company arrived at 5 pm, quick Thai soup.  Last event then party.  Whee!  Hope you found your way home from scenic WI.
11:06 pm All done!  Great audience.  People got all goofy – laughed so hard!  Man, I adore these people.
12:13 am Phil: Awesome, glad it went well.  Night
12:15 am Any chance you could call me?  
2:27 am Finally home… partied – pulled pork!  Drove home in a gentle snow.  Nite, kid.

Hiya, kid.
I know it’s probably impossible, but if you want to come for Dad’s memorial service, you would be welcome.  I was spinning schemes in my head of your flying into Boston late Friday, going with us to honor him on Saturday, then me driving you to see your dad and bringing you back to fly out Sunday.  
Just pat me on the head and smile at the crazy ideas I get.  🙂

3:43 pm  Busy – brunch w/ a friend here from out of state, and now helping at mom’s.  Hope you’re having a good one!
10:14 pm Hey, kid.  How goes?  Great family time, met w/sis’s UU minister, then Chinese supper.  Yum.
11:08 pm Phil: Had a relaxing day.  Long walk with the dogs.  Watched the race, great service at the chapel, went to a movie and cooked ribeyes for supper.  Topped off with a nice scotch.  Not a bad day.
11:11 pm  Yay!  Sounds like fun.  What race?
Monday, February 28
6:08 am Good morning  Rain 40’s today.  I’m off to work.  Have a good Monday!
1:18 pm Phil: Good morning!  Solid ice here.  Cold and nasty.  Have a good day.  Hoping for an easy week.
9:59 pm Quiet day at last.  Wrote my dad’s memorial service.  You doing ok?
11:07 pm Phil: I’m ok.  More worried about you.  Good day at work.
11:08 pm I don’t mean to worry you…
11:10 pm Phil:  I know, a lot on your plate.  Take
care of you.  You take care of everyone else.
11:14 pm I’m ok.  Wishing I could mess w/ you, but otherwise rolling along.
11:14 pm Phil:  Glad to hear that.
11:16 pm Should I not say that? 
11:35 pm Phil:  Oh why the hell not.  What you need is a hard cock pounding into that hot pussy til you explode, hot com spurting deep inside you.  That would ease your mind.
11:38 pm Phil:  Sorry, should not say things like that.
11:38 pm I wish you’d say them every night…
11:39 pm and some mornings.
11:39 pm Damn you make me so wet!
11:40 pm Phil: Ah, well good.  Off to bed with me.  Slip your fingers into that wet pussy and enjoy!
11:41 pm Thanks, kid.  Sleep well.

Need You Now
[a duet between a man and woman]
Picture perfect memories, scattered all around the floor.
Reaching for the phone cause, I can’t fight it any more.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.
It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now.
I said I wouldn’t call but I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don’t know how I can do without, I just need you now.
Another shot of whiskey, can’t stop looking at the door.
Wishing you’d come sweeping in the way you did before.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.
It’s a quarter after one, I’m a little drunk and I need you now.
I said I wouldn’t call but I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don’t know how I can do without, I just need you now.
I guess I’d rather hurt than feel nothing at all.
It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now.
And I said I wouldn’t call, but I’m a little drunk and I need you now.
And I don’t know how I can do without, I just need you now.
I just need you now.
Oh baby I need you now.

10:35 pm Time for Best in Show!  Doggies!
10:57 pm The Scottish deerhound named Hickory won!  First time for that breed.  Looks like a furry greyhound.

Wednesday, February 16
7:24 am Phil:  Walked in the house at 11, back at work at 6 am.  Gonna be a long one today.  Was asked last night to go to Florida later this spring for a week.  Geez. Good thing I’ve got energizer batteries!  Good luck today.  That’s still an ugly ass hat. 🙂
8:07 am Dude!  Florida!
5:28 pm My long hair is gone.  🙁  Here’s the new do [Photo of me in the long brown wig].

7:56 am Good morning!  Warm, going to 50!  Off to work, then Chemo #2 at 2:30 pm w/ mom.  Whee.  Have a tiptop day!
8:38 am  Phil: Good luck girl.  Kinda warm for an ugly wool hat though
8:42 am Hee!  Rockin the wig today!
1:47 pm Sitting outside at work, waiting for my ride, feels like Spring! 
2:08 pm Phil: Warm here too!  Snow is gone!  I love it.

6:40 pm Phil:  If you start feeling sick to your stomach, it’s the hat.:) would make me sick too
6:42 pm Brat. 🙂
6:45 pm Fyi – I spent most of chemo thinking about you.  In my kitchen… Mmmm.  😉
6:47 pm Phil: Ha ha, gotta keep your mind off it some how.  🙂
6:47 pm Only this time, I did drop to the floor and do it right.:)
6:49 pm Phil: Ah, now that sounds like fun.  🙂
6:52 pm In my mind, you liked it a lot. Produced… a reaction.

6:54 pm then there was a very interesting shower….
7:07 pm Made the hospital time fly by.
7:18 pm Phil: Glad I could help!
7:20 pm Do men (you) think women who are smooth, i.e. no hair down there, are sexy?
7:29 pm Or is that just too odd….
7:39 pm Phil: Absolutely sexy
7:40 pm Phil: It’s very sexy.  Most guys like to see the pussy
7:43 pm  Well, let’s just say that head hair is not the only hair that falls out during chemo. 🙂 Hope that heats up some fantasies.
7:43 pm Phil: Ha ha
7:45 pm Not that you have time for such things….
7:47 pm Sorry if that was TMI.  I blame it on the drugs.  Yes, that’s it.  The drugs makes me less civilized.
11:11 pm Off to bed.  Feeling fine.  So odd after all the warnings.  Sleep well, sweet man.

Star Trek for grown-ups

Hiya, kid.
Definitely do not open at work or when there’s anyone around.
Not the type of photos I usually look at.  and not sure I should send this 
to you, but what the heck.  It’s screen shots from a parody movie using 
people who look sort of like Star Trek TNG characters, but they are um… 
a certain kind of movie stars.  In very interesting positions.  The Ryker 
and Troi series were especially stimulating, but only because 
it reminds me of certain conversations on FB.  
Engage!

president driving along in scenic Arkansas. When they pull
 over for gas, Clinton notices his wife has jumped out of the
car, bounded over to the gas-station attendant, thrown her
arms around him, and kissed him with tears of joy. “Who was
 that?” a bemused Bill asks as they drive away. “Oh,” replies
Hillary somewhat wistfully, “he was an old flame I haven’t
seen in years.” “Well,” says Bill with a smirk, “I guess if you
 hadn’t married me, you’d be helping him pump
 gas now.” “I don’t think so,” says Hillary icily. “If I had
 married him, he’d be president now.”

After midnight… and I get all philosophical again.  Forgive me.
At least this song has beat.  And a hot woman dancing.  
Nothing like a Spice Girl strutting her stuff.  😉
I Turn To You Lyrics
Sung by Melanie C
Songwriters: Steinberg, Billy; Nowels, Rick; Chisholm, Melanie;
When the world is darker than I can understand 
When nothing turns out the way I’ve planned 
When the sky turns grey and there’s no end in sight 
When I can’t sleep through the lonely night 
Refrain
I turn to you, like a flower leaning towards the sun 
I turn to you, ’cause you’re the only one 
Who can turn me around 
When I’m upside down 
I turn to you 
When my insides are racked with anxiety 
You have the touch that will quiet me 
You lift my spirit, you melt the ice 
When I need inspiration, when I need advice 
Refrain
Where would I be, what would I do 
If you never helped me through 
I hope someday, if you lost your way 
You can turn to me, like I turn to you 
Refrain
I turn to you, when fear tells me to turn around 
I turn to you, ’cause you’re the only one 
Who can turn me around 
When I’m upside down 
I turn to you, I turn to you
