Another month, another wake.

The streak is still going strong. This past March my Uncle Eugene (Hong) passed away. Not more than 2 weeks ago. It was a rough one. As the service was in my old church-I haven't been there in a long time. It feels like at least 2 years or so but it's probably longer than that. It should be noted that I don't have a problem with God. Far from it. We get along great-except for that whole mega millions numbers thing. Haha. It was the pastor at the old time strong-arming senior citizens to vote. It was redorkulous, Balky. That's why I stopped going. Whoever that guy was/is is not the pastor anymore. Still weird seeing some of those people. They all got old and short. 

This past week, an old friend of my dad, James Leong passed away. (and when I mean old friend, like old village in China kind of old friend) He wasn't doing well (on life support). I didn't know him that well and always found it super weird that he sounded different in person than on the phone. For a bit of history, he was one of, if not the first Chop Suey restaurant in the St. Louis metro area. Mid 1970's or so, in case you are keeping track. I doubt he invented the St. Paul but I didn't get to ask him. I think it would have been cool to know at the very least. In any case, I'm probably going to have one for him. I think they both deserved better than what they got. Or at least the way they went out. 

I seem to be saying that a lot. Rest easy you old goats.
