I cried this morning.

After I rolled out of bed this morning, I walked in to the kitchen and noticed that a small section of the top sheet of our refrigerator notepad was torn off. I then walked to my laptop, discovering the missing page piece – a note left by my wife.

Maybe it was the note. Maybe it was the fact that I have Copland playing on the iPod dock. Maybe it’s the fact that the Cubs probably will not ever win another World Series. Or maybe it’s because I’m really more upset with the fact that life is fickle, short, fleeting, passing away – like chaff in the wind.

I’m going to miss Ronnie.

My favorite Santo quote: “Awe, jeez…”
