Had a hard day yesterday, Aunt Margaret passed away, a great aunt and a fine friend.  Got a bit into my Junior Jesus delusion and had that stopped by about 3 PM.  I have sure wasted a lot of time in my life with a low self esteem and a high ego.  The Pride Festival was crazy.  I am blessed by my roommate Ronnie T.  What a day.
God is in charge.
