Hal

[shadesong]

Hal was 35 when I met him. Funny how that seems so old, so venerable, when you're just-barely twenty.

Hal was 35, and the only job he'd ever had was dealing drugs.

It's not something they talk about at career day at school. I never found out what Hal had wanted to be - a teacher? A vet? A fireman? What ambitions did ten-year-old Hal profess in

I agree! She sucks me in no matter what she writes -- fiction, non-fiction, or daily updates.

*hug* Thank you, honey.

I miss these people - and they're the kind of people who get forgotten by the world at large, you know?

Me too! I haven't been doing it near enough lately.

I miss it - but there's this little thing called Take Care of You.
