Martinis

Gin, a spoon of bourbon, and two olives. Here's to you Tooie, we love you.

Some administrative issues: I opened comments for everyone. Also, please feel free to become an author of this blog. Let me or Jenn know if you want to do that since I need to invite you by email (and you have to register with Google I think). If you don't want to do that then just send us your writing and we'll post it ourselves. I know Brooks has percolating a Bilgewater story or two that I want to read.

And now a word about services upcoming. Per Tooie's wishes we are not having a funeral. Instead, we will be interring Tooie's ashes at his church privately later this week. We then plan to have a large remembrance gathering in two to three weeks for everyone who wants to come.

Today left us shaken. We saw difficult things. But we believe that Tooie was ready. It is the end of more than a life, it is the end of a way of living in the world with another person. Everything, especially everything in Annapolis, looks different to me now.

Love!
