Yesterday I attended the wake of a jazz musician I didn't know. I shot it for my Legacy Project. Today I took Tima to Dr. Means to have her stitches removed. Dr. Means told me that the tumor he removed on the 5th is cancerous. We have to watch Tima to see if it returns. On the way out, I noticed a large crowd in the Teehaus. I parked and went inside. I walked to the bar thinking I might be barging in on a private party. Sandy was there and gave me a hug and told me she was glad I made it. She told me Peggy had passed away. It was a very bitter sweet melancolny wake. I talked with people I haven't seen in years and talked with Wayne about old memories. The highlight was when bagpipers came in and played. I didn't want to bring in my camera until I saw people trying to get video with their phones and still cameras of the bagpipers. I will edit and upload to youtube soon. It is just happenstance that I came to the wake. My big fear was always that I would find the Teehaus gone permanently and that Peggy passed without my knowing. Somehow, neither happened. I called Mark and Ti to tell them the news.
