While out in the yard doing some cleaning up to get ready for a metal car/boat port I will be getting soon, I got to thinking about Dwayne's post. The part about informing Angie about his screen name and not telling anyone that Shadow was dead.
At our 45th class reunion I had such an incident. The music was blaring, people were dancing and everyone was shouting to be heard. As I walked across the floor to the free bar, I ran into a cousin of mine who also was a friend of Linda's since childhood. We said hi best we could about the noise. He looked around and not seeing Linda, asked where she was. I held up my hand point up with my index finger and motioned upward with it. A look of horror, shock, and surprise overcame him. I finally realized that he thought I meant that she was in heaven. I smiled and said no, no, no. She hasn't made it that far yet, she up on the balcony. Every time we meet he has to tell that story again.
