I wish I had more time to write but I don't - we are leaving for
a Johnston Architects company retreat in about an hour, and I haven't even
packed yet.
I have not received any pictures from my trip to Indiana yet, sorry. I am
working on it. (Update: here)
Tomoka got home to Osaka safe and sound. Uncle Tim and Aunt Julie get here
in a couple weeks. Truly is leaving Starbucks because she and her husband
are moving to Tacoma. My classes are going great, but so far they are just
lectures about the design industry.
Since I last wrote to you, I also saw Queens of the Stone Age (Showbox)
and Enon (Graceland). We had cousin Jason over for a lovely dinner. Joe
got back from the boat and was staying with us for a while.
There's more, but I gotta go.

I haven't written because things are so difficult right now. My
family & I are in the process of healing.

Last
night my Dad called from Wes and Val's house. My cousin
Chad was in a motorcycle accident just a couple hours earlier
- he died instantly from head injuries. He was at Indiana University
- his sophomore year, attending with my brother Todd. He had just
left Todd's fraternity house and that was it. He's nineteen.
This made me realize that our family has never had to deal with death
like this before. We've been so lucky - there are so many of us. Just
about the whole family was at Wes and Val's house within an hour,
minus me and Aunt Nancy (who's in California), Uncle Herb and Karyn
(in Arkansas), and the kids who are away at college. |

I tried to work
at Starbucks this morning but they sent me home at seven. I got a
couple hours of sleep, but Nancy and my Dad both called me since we
are planning flights, and Dad and Burt both went with Wes to the funeral
home to make arrangements. [And yesterday was Burt's birthday.] Dad
told me the viewing is all day Saturday and the funeral is Sunday.
I leave tomorrow morning for Indiana and return Monday around noon,
where I hope to get some sleep and go to my first class for my certification
program.
[I am sorry about this background if it offends anyone - I made it
a couple days ago.]
