We took him (much to his resistance) to the new roller rink in Mansfield. We had a lot of fun despite using muscles we hadn't used since jr high and the fact that the place had a "space theme" and no hardwood floors. Just a multipurpose floor.

Not finding anything, I decide to check out the faculty and see who all was there. Pretty much everyone was, except Mrs. Oestreicher (oh-strike-her). Mrs. O was my favorite teacher.

My great grandfather, Papa, is hanging in the gray area between life and death right now. He is unconscious and his throat has closed up and can no longer swallow, possibly from a stroke he had sometime this past week. His body is riddled with cancer and they were about to amputate his foot to save the rest of him. But now hospice care has been Melissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724494.post-1100205724641554002004-11-15T09:07:00.000-08:002004-11-15T10:24:04.293-08:00I'm sorry my blog has been the journal of doom and gloom but I have more: My great grandfather Papa passed away last week and his funeral was last Friday.
