It's a blow. I am sad and bewildered.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Sad and bewildered is a good description.

Peace to Frankenbudda.
Discovered last year how limited accessibility is, even at places that should be concerned like doctor's offices.
Seriously. My orthopedic surgeon is in a medical building that seems like it should be accessible, but it is the only place I have fallen. The lobby has cobblestone like tiles and the side walk out front is so uneven. I hit a lip and toppled off my scooter - thankfully onto a bench I was next to, but that could have been so much worse. The elevators are tiny and I can't turn around in them. The automatic door buttons into his office are NOT near the doors.
Ok, done with that fuss. Met up with some friends from DCC leadership for a game night. It was fun to catch up with folks I haven't really seen since last year. So good to get out and just laugh for 5 hours!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
My heart goes out to all who knew and loved Frankenbuddha.

He was just a good dude, damn it.
He was. I had many conversations with him here about music and film.

I am so sorry to hear about Frankenbuddha. Loved reading him here every now and then. Peace to him and lots of ~ma to his friends and loved ones.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Frank was a good guy. He came to a few F2F things, but I haven't seen him in several years.
Regarding accessibility in doctors offices and hospitals. I'm always extra annoyed when front doors and bathroom doors don't have an automatic open button, especially handicapped bathrooms. It makes no sense. You would think doctors would be more sensitive to these things.

Frank was a curmudgeon for sure, but since I am a Curmudgeon Whisperer(tm) by virtue of being married to Tom, we got along splendidly. We'd get beers before or after our commute from Boston to Salem, and even sometimes when we weren't commuting. He was a great beer nerd (so we talked about that a lot) and made me a few mix CDs with some crazy ass obscure music on them that I really got into while walking to and from the train station from work.
When I moved to New Orleans, I met another beer nerd curmudgeon that Tom and I would fondly refer to as "New Orleans Frank."
RIP, Frankenbuddha.

The status is NOT quo.
Sad to hear of Frank's passing. I only met him in person a few times, but he was always kind to me. My condolences to all who knew him well.
