And as always, I’m left with so many questions: Was it something I said? Did? Blogged? Or does it have nothing to do with me? Did they just decide to cull their friend list down to less than 1,000? Did they just get sick of getting so many messages from random bands, webcam bots, and/or stalkers that they deleted their whole profile? And of course, the biggest question of all: who on earth is missing from my friends list? I’ll probably never know the answer.

Roger Barr

My grandfather Roger Barr passed away early this morning at the age of 98. He was my mom’s father, and was my last surviving grandparent. He was being cared for by my uncle Steve (his son) and aunt Denice — both medical professionals — and was still sharp and good-humored in his final days. Yesterday […]
