My brake light kept coming on today. I first drove my 87 yo Dad to his voting place to vote. Then I drove to mine and the main thing on my mind was please don't break down until I am with in walking distance of my voting place. I made it.

I was the keeper of the monies in the carpool I was in when I was still working. I had a young man in the pool who also drew me wonderful pictures to add to his payment envelope for the months fee. Sadly, he left us to move to San Francisco, and not too long after that died from AIDS related complications. I always felt bad I didn't save those drawings.
Thank you for making me thing of Gary. He was a gorgeous human being.
