Bones
A very sad thing has happened. One of the old trombones was killed this weekend in a car accident. His name was Bill Hivner and he was one of those guys that seemed tough, but everyone knew had a big heart. I'm not really sure of the details, but it's a very sad thing. Also, my former section leader Keith Blair has been battling a disease (I forget what it's called - and I'm not typing it because I'll just mess it up). Keith's a tough man, so hopefully he'll make it through this. I just remember when my friend Julie died in November of 2000 and the bones got me flowers. They didn't know her, it was right before Bands in Review (our big end of the year band show) and they did that. We have something called DTA every year and some of the alumni come back for it. It's really sad when things like this happen to such good people, but it's truly amazing (if you're in band you'll get that) how quickly word and love spreads.
The funeral is this Saturday. I would love to go and see all the people that show to celebrate Bill. I don't think the funds will allow another trip out there, since I was out there this past weekend.
I did have a great time this weekend. I went and saw Miss. Morgan West and it was a blast. We're so alike and so different it's the perfect combination. She really is a great woman. Sunday was spent with Mr. Ed. It's been a month since we started dating and it still feels great. I just feel so relaxed around him and I rarely feel that way so it's nice. We fit really well together and we're on the same thinking lines.
This whole weekend (with everything that has happened) had me thinking about the relationships I have with people. I really am very lucky. I know a lot of people and I really am friends with a heck of a lot of people, but each one of them are so different and it's incredible that I can get along and really admire each one of them.
Sorry for the gushy entry, but it's true. And it makes me feel good.
