My friend Karla's husband died





Karla, my Lowe's buddy, phoned me last night around 10pm to tell me that her husband Les had died...a real shock, he was 61 years old, robust, in great health, a happy guy. I saw him and talked with him a few days ago when he was at Lowe's shopping. Maybe a heart attach, maybe a stroke, the family ordered an autopsy to determine what caused his death.

I talked with Karla today and she seemed deeply sad; at a loss, but facing the reality of all of that. Her sons, Jared and Ryan are with her. A visitation will be held Friday evening and Saturday is the funeral.

This brings to focus my own fate...a hard time for me, the mystery of life odd, unknowable.
