A CHANGE IN PRIORITIES
Unfortunately, I must report that an old friend passed away the other day after a grueling battle with cancer. I had known him for almost thirty years and he was more than just a friend, being the father of several of my closest friends from early childhood and who was, at times, a bit of a father figure for me as well.
Consequently, posting may be light for a few days.
