We now resume our regularly scheduled posting

I didn’t mention it publicly, but I was secretly planning on blogging every day in May. I consciously chose not to post yesterday to honor and remember Sharon, my aunt who died on Sunday. Lighting a candle (that night, last night and any other night) is my way of saying goodbye.

The physical distance between me and my family feels greater in this moment. When someone is in need, I tend to be the guy who shows up in support. Obviously, I can’t do this quite so easily when 932 miles seperate me from my family. I have to find other ways to be supportive.

I was sad on Sunday. I’m more accepting now. Sharon’s suffering is over. This being said, there’s a family in Ohio who just lost a daughter, mother, wife, sister, aunt and cousin (and more). If you’re the praying/meditating/good vibe sending sort, please send some love and good stuff to my family.

[Fuck cancer. There. It had to be said.]

On a lighter note, I was digging through emails yesterday and found one that included an online geography test. I really enjoyed this test and found out how little I know about US geography. When I last took it, I lucked into a good score of 98% with an average error of two miles.

Here’s a link to the test — Place the State. Leave a comment with your score if you dare

Peace and love,
Gregory
