So the Queen touched Michelle Obama first!
Administered Booty's ear medicine into his ear canals. He was good. His ears haven't been bothering him at all lately. The medicine is working. Still, he distances himself from me somewhat after I do this.
[10:40 p.m. ] I just found out a friend of mine passed away early yesterday morning. Wow. What a shock. He was a young 54. I'd known him since I was a child. (His parents and my parents had been friends.) He turned out to be gay and so did I. We ended up together for a while. Then he moved out of state to be closer to his family (who had moved out of state). He just called me a few days ago at work. Good grief! We hadn't talked in a while. His grandfather had been one of the founding partners in a large, venerable Miami law firm (since kaput). (Where Janet Reno practiced for a couple of years back in the '70s.) I'll have to call his partner tomorrow. I think the funeral is being held here in Miami and he'll be interred in the mausoleum at Woodlawn Park cemetery (his "condo grave" as he used to call it).
Apparently he'd had a stomach flu and threw up in his sleep and aspirated his vomit. His partner found him dead hours afterward.
He'd been living with us at my mother's when my mother died (after his mother died). We had quite a history together.
I'll have to call my father and tell him.
