Reply #7: so sad

[Ship of Fools]

when my MIT science-guy brother passed through kansas last year, he stopped to sleep on my couch. was never very close with him until that weekend (when he finally figured out i was on the same page as he was politically).

to put it far more simply, he said: "it's going to happen so fast, we're not going to know what hit us."

anyway, he hugged me before leaving (almost a first), and he hugged me as if it was the last time we would see each other ...

now i'm haunted.
