Recap...

Sooo… recap of Steve’s farewell…. It was really nice, in the end. There was such a great turnout. Maybe 50 – 60 ppl there? Everyone was there for Steve, which was so nice. But it wasn’t a sad night. Everyone was there telling stories, laughing, having a good time. So I think all in all it was a great night. I came with my friends… Colleen, Jay and Steve’s brother, Brian.

We had a great time. Col and Jay saw Steve last in December – the 26th to be exact. Steve and I went out to Kildare’s to have a few, then we met up with some high school people for dinner, then Steve and I went to The Note in West Chester and met up with Col and Jay and ended up having the BEST night! Lots of pictures to prove it…

The morning after Steve’s farewell, Brian and I had breakfast at the DK Diner. We ate for free because we waited too long for our breakfast according to DK standards I guess. Note, we did not complain, nor did we really care, though I was very hungover and needed grease immediately… the lucky table next to us benefitted too – free breakfast for you too! Like Oprah… and YOU get a free breakfast.. and YOU get a free breakfast… ok, you only get that if you watch Oprah or all the comedy shows that mock her. So Brian dropped me at the train station, and I Amtrak’d it back to the NYC…

I realized I think on this train ride that trains are a sad place to be. Especially if you have sad music to listen to while you ride. It’s 2 ½ hours of silence (mostly)… earphones in, listening to anything that will make you cry… 2 ½ hours to sit and think about everything you regret… everything you wish was different.

When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough…
