So Long Away

the laptop may die at any moment and these words may be lost, which is not the reason i've been away from this blog, but is now the reason i am so uncomfortable, so tentative, so forced in writing and disregarding punctuation as i did for so many years before this particular current blog... the laptop is dying... the battery stopped taking a charge (though for some reason it suddenly returned just moments ago... who knows for how long) and the power supply (or something) is apparently overheating and suddenly shutting down everything...

it is so frustrating as the primary reason i've been away for the past nine days (more reasons behind the away time prior to that) has been the insanity of the shooting here in Orlando... as I might have mentioned in catch up posts if they've been uploaded and you are reading chronologically, i am helping in organizing funeral support groups that attend funerals to show families they are not alone and their city and the whole world mourns... our secondary purpose is to block from the family's view any hate groups that might wish to play their hate for the media... we've encountered it four times, though only once did they actually show themselves at a funeral... i won't mention them in detail anymore, they do not deserve that, but you've probably heard of them protesting at military funerals as well as at gay funerals and political events... their purpose is to provoke a hostile reactions so they can sue... that is how they make money... it is a moral and ethical crime, but the stay within the law and exploit the bill of rights freedoms to assemble, protest, and free speech... despicable people doing hateful things... we will not allow that unchecked in Orlando...

and returning here, now, i wonder... did anyone even notice i was gone?...
