Today is horrible.  I think I need to go back to bed and start over.
The first thing I heard this morning is that my friend Joe had passed away.  Joe and I went to high school together, and he was always prone to health problems, and it finally the better of him.  He passed away Friday morning.  He was only 21.  I know he's in a better place now, but I'm still kind of shell-shocked.  I talked to Robert this morning, and I think we're going to go to the wake together this evening.  Rest in peace, Joseph Ryan Waldrop.
