Me and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

[starmalachite]

It started with a phone call informing me that Ira Stoller had died. Ira was one of my oldest friends in SF fandom - both in the known-me-longest sense and in the sense that he was 72. He told me at Lunacon that he had developed lymphoma and probably had less than a year. Much less, as it turned out

Argh. I hope today goes better for you.

How dreadful! I'm sorry for the loss of your friend and I hope that your car is easily fixed.

Bleeeeuurrrgh. Painful to read and so familiar a refrain lately. Hopes and prayers for good resolutions...

Hey, did you get my email messages (to your Yahoo & LJ accounts) or the phone message I left? In case you don't have it, my addy is malachite AT speakeasy PERIOD net. Thanks.

I got your my email message to my Yahoo! account and the subsequent phone message. I've sent email replies from both my Yahoo! account and my Alltel (Windstream) account, but I guess they're not getting through. Short form: I'm certainly willing to participate. For the (long) list of songs I could suggest, I guess you'll have to call me, or I'll call you.

[starmalachite]

I'll call you tonight.

I'm so sorry about your friend. Too many deaths lately.
Hope your car gets better, but in the meantime, you're welcome to ride with us to Faerie Festival Saturday if you like (my covenant group and several others are helping to spread mulch at church on Sunday, so I have to do Saturday).
