Susan stamberg died today! I know that's not a big deal to most people and I think probably most people don't even know who she is and I wouldn't know who she was a less my old best friend Kim likely hadn't got me listening to National Public Radio All Things Considered and other radio shows. Susan stamberg was one of the hosts of National Public Radio she's considered one of the founding mothers and seemed like she was always there- - what she was. Many times she broadcast her shows from her home during national holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving in the such. For some reason I just felt really close to her and other NPR personalities. I know there old and they're going to die but when it finally happened it's always such a shock to me. Eventually it circles around to my own mortality and I have to take a few minutes to think about where I'm at on the whole concept of life and not life. Along that same note one of my quasi favorite local television journalists passed away from cancer last week and that was quite a shock to me sort of. I noticed he looked kind of strange the last couple months but I didn't think anything of it really. Actually, I don't think I even realized it was the same person there is something familiar with him but I couldn't really Pin It Down but sure enough he was just deteriorating from the cancer Beast and he kept reporting up until the end amazing. They had a couple of interesting comments regarding his process and how he was actually terrified- - who wouldn't be?- - towards the end. I don't know how I'm going to be when and if I get enough time to realize my end is going to be near. I don't know if I'll be brave and stoic or if I'll just cave in on myself find myself a corner and sit there watching Marvel movies until they carry me away. Actually, that may not be a bad way to go all things considered.
Today was another cold and blustery autumn/winter Day that I barely went outside if not just to check how cool the weather was. I kept myself busy at the apartment even sweeping the floors at one point in time. I did my final workout for the week on my own bike and even attended the coffee social this morning. The last couple weeks have been somewhat interesting a few new people have shown up are actually long time folks that haven't really come to the social very much and now they are regular attendees and have a great deal to contribute to the conversations. It's funny how attending this coffee group makes me feel like I've done something during my day and I don't have to feel so inadequate about letting life go by and not doing anything in the time granted me. I suppose it doesn't really matter in the end all things considered. It's really just how we get by..
