Made it through the funeral. The outpouring of love from the community for my friend and his wife was humbling and beautiful. Today the pain I am feeling is of a different type....had to have surgery on my tooth. Oh man.....this just is not my week. lol I now must buckle down and learn my lines for the upcoming play, which I pretty much have down. While I was looking forward to the city election, unfortunately with things I got sidetracked and missed the deadline (I was told the turn in was not...

I am having a hard time sleeping tonight. I am not looking forward to what today brings. I have one of the greatest honors bestowed upon me, but it comes at a terrible price. I am to be a pall bearer at my best friends funeral today. I am glad his suffering is over and I know he has gone on to a better place.......but the empty void left behind is deep and I miss him so.

It has been a tough couple of days. Trying to keep my emotions in check over my best friend Steve, but it is hard.
I have been thinking very hard on the upcoming city race. My close friends want me to run, some of my family are less enthusiastic. Do I want to put myself in the spotlight? Am I willing to take some heat? I have nothing to hide and will answer any question, as long as it is relevant, honestly and to the point. It will financially be tough since I will be spending my own money...
