My uncle Lowell passed away yesterday morning. Apparently he hadn’t been well this past month but I didn’t know so the news came as quite a shock to me. Truthfully, it’s not something I even want to write about.

I imagine you’d probably slap me if you knew that I was. Monday night Mom mentioned to me that you weren’t feeling well. I didn’t realize how poorly you were doing. I certainly didn’t expect this…

I remember all those fishing trips with you and Neal when Brian and I were kids. You guys would let us steer the truck once we got onto the logging roads. God how we loved that. I think we might have been bad luck because we never came back with much to show for our efforts. It didn’t matter to us; to us it was just a lot of fun to be out with our uncles.

I remember when you guys gave us each a knife when we were camping. I also remember cutting you with it not more than ten seconds after you gave it to me. I hadn’t even noticed but then I saw the blood running out of your hand. “Did I do that?” I asked. You chuckled like you always did and said yes but told me it was no big deal. Dumb-ass kid…

I’m glad that I got to see you last month. I wish I would have known it would be the last time but then again maybe I wouldn’t have wanted to know. I do know that I wish it was me that found you. Maybe that would have been easier for you. I know it would have been easier on Ardie but I guess it had to be someone.

I hope things are better for you now. Take care…

Well, it’s the first day of spring and you know what that means; Spanky ain’t wearing socks… “Summer’s here!” he proclaimed and he flashed a suspicious grin. Nice. Well, I guess November isn’t that far off…

It’s been just over two weeks since MiHwa left and I guess it seems normal around here again. Oddly enough, the biggest thing is that when I’m getting groceries, I see the Korean papers and always think that I should grab one for her…

I am happy to report that my cooking skills have indeed improved. Mihwa managed to pass down a few good recipies and while generally not as good as hers, I’m doing alright. In fact I’ll go so far as to say my stirfry is superior. That’s easy to say with her 8200 kilometers away in Seoul…

Well, I guess there’s nothing left to do except to wait for the fallout…
