I was just sitting down to lunch when my phone blew up. Two deaths reported within minutes of each other.
The first was the husband of an old friend, Stephanie. She was the girlfriend of Marc Velez, a Kung Fu brother of mine and the cfs (they might even remember Steph). They split amicably and are still good friends. I only kept in touch with her over facebook. They were on vacation in NM, taking a bicycle tour. They were both avid bikers. He fell to an accident and died in her arms.
The second was Master Randy Li. I've known him for years. We'd cross paths at tournaments regularly. He was always friendly, a bit kooky because he was heavily into malas (beaded bracelets of semi-precious stones). He often wore so many that both forearms were covered with malas. He would sell them and often examine mine with a lot of scrutiny because I usually wear a mala when I'm dressing more formally. We weren't close, but he was definitely an influential player in the US wulin. He held a seat with the USAWKF, which is who is sponsoring my webinar tomorrow.
On another note, our dream house went up for sale again. It's just down the street and it's gorgeous - it could be our forever home. With our tenant leaving, it seems like a good time to sell Ranch Macbeth. Could we trade up? Not likely right now. You see, we're both unemployed.
Stacy's outlook is grim. The massage spa won't be opening until September. It's a good thing she worked there because it qualified her for unemployment but when the stimulus ends next month, we'll need more. She's looking into other work now.
Merc-n-ret ends Sunday but sometimes there are aftershocks.
