hi everyone.

my dad died last friday.

my first plan was to achieve maximum denial by not telling anyone about it. but then i realized that eventually we'd end up talking, and you'd say "how are you?" and i'd say "my father's dead", and that's no way to start a conversation (sorry, timmy)

he had been sick with a blood disorder for a number of years, and hadn't been doing very well for awhile, so it wasn't unexpected. and he died pretty peacefully.

i'm doing okay. i might not reply to you if you write back (again, with the denial).

My grandfather, Jim Cassell, died on July 1, 2008.

There's an obituary up at the Daily Breeze.
