First it was my grandfather who passed away in late May, he was 93. Then it was a close family friend who passed away a few days before my grandfather's funeral of a massive heart attack. He died at 63 alone on the side of the highway after visiting his daughter. Then it was another close family friend and the person who gave my father his first gallery representation for his art work in 1965. He was 83 and his memorial service is coming up in October. I got the news while in Prague to see Pearl Jam. Now its a close friend of mine that I've known since 5th grade and graduated high school with. He was told last Wednesday that the traditional and experimental cancer treatments he underwent didn't work and he has a year at the most to live. I spoke with him today and he's planning his "bucket list" of things to do and seeing about an early payout from his life insurance policy. He's married and has kids and comes from a large family. What do you say to someone faced with such decisions? I hope I get to take him to his first Pearl Jam show before he's not "up for it." What a fucking year. What's next?

Cherish your time and those you love.

Peace.
