So I will borrow the fabulous ones written by others:

He Had an Antic Disposition. . .

Lay down your sweet and weary head. . .

I can say only that in the short time we all had to work with him he displayed more talent, presence, and energy than most will in a much longer life. Farewell, my friend.

Please, by anything you hold dear or holy, DO NOT spend money on this movie. I love everything else Shyamalan has made, but this movie, it is the single most disappointing thing I have seen in years. Worse than the last Indy film. How else can I say this ( Read more... )

Many of you know my sister got married yesterday. The ceremony was awesome and there were some cool remembrances of those not there, specifically my dad. Everyone seemed to have a blast and I couldn't be happier with her choice of a husband. I wish them both the best of luck, though I think they have the right mindset not to need it ( Read more... )

For those of you not going to New York this weekend, if you have time free on Sunday, we could use your help moving. Not a long distance one and (I hope) more organized than some of my prior moves.

Be at peace, dad.

So, Dad now sounds like I have so many times through life, especially as a kid, PI (Pre-Inhalers). Breathing is shallow and labored, the coughing has ended, and all his energy is going into the act of breathing. No longer trying to adjust himself into a comfy position. It's a significant change, hopefully one of the last ( Read more... )

We've hit a plateau. Friday night I thought was it, but no, we're here at the same place. Breathing has gotten progessively worse (lots of fluid) but the heart's still strong and regular and keeping things going. This afternoon we all got out of the house for a while, as we'd been together for the longest since, well, before I got out of high ( Read more... )
