It's been a long time , I don't write on the bloggy blog often these days , but my uncle of 95 years is dying , and it makes me sad. I haven't seen uncle Morris for a few years , he lives in Oakland now , after living in Evanston all those years , it seems so long ago. We spent a lot of time together , he taught me many things I'm just now realizing. He was so healthy all this time , he is an amazing man . I can't forget him. He had a heart attack when he was younger than I am now and he has spent the rest of his life being healthy , some people thought he was crazy , he is eccentric , that's for sure , but wise , very wise , and , you can just see that his whole essence is in teaching something to the world, whether it be about sharing the worlds food , ecology and keeping a garden going to keep the earth going , when you were around this guy , you just knew important stuff was being talked about. I'm going to Oakland in a few days , to see Morris one last time. He is my last uncle , my last relative of that era , and I wanted to go , it seems important. My mother died almost three years ago , I was there around when she died , my dad died some twenty one years ago , and this is it. I feel very old now , there isn't that much time left , we have to figure out how to make the rest of our lives better than the time leading up to now.
