Fade back

I just finished a writing the guitar part and lyrics to a new song. Since I'm not looking to be a famous rock star I'll put the words here. Maybe someday I'll record it and put it up for all to hear. :)

FADE BACK
Lost in a crowd
Of people I knew
Looking for friends
But there are only a few

Everyone's caught
Up in their game
Looks like everyone's winning
But not everyone came

Asking the questions that everyone's asked
Ignoring the answers they've gotten down pat
And I fade back.

Lost in a crowd
Of places I knew
Looking for someone
To stand next to

Staring like a tourist
But looking into the past
I'd talk about what happened
But nobody's asked

Asking the question that everyone's asked
But I chose this universe and those curses were cast
And I fade back.
And I fade back.

Kitty Cancer

Well, bad news comes today.

I took Owen to the vet because he had a knot in his tummy - turns out he probably has lymphatic cancer. The tumor in his tummy is nearly the size of his body cavity, and what I was feeling wasn't the tumor but his kidney from where it had been pushed against his side by the tumor. The vet took some cells and we're going to see what it really is, but his prognosis is that he's terminal and the vet doesn't expect him to live but weeks now.

Luckily, he doesn't seem to have any pain yet, so we're just keeping him spoiled and comfy as long as we can.

Mike, it IS a bad season for pets.
