Steve Poe

It's been a couple of days since you heard from me, because it's been a wild couple of days.  On Friday I found out that I needed to travel to Oklahoma City on Monday, so I spent much of the day Friday reworking my travel schedule.  On Saturday I missed exercising (and blogging) due to delivering food baskets in the morning, a funeral in the afternoon, and a Christmas Party in the evening.  (Once again, I was top winner on the Fantasy Casino with $4.3 million, but alas, no credit for it.)  Sunday followed with a Seahawks game with Gail and Valerie, and watching the Packers Sunday night.  Needless to say, the exercising was out the window. 

The funeral on Saturday was particularly poignant, for the gentleman who died was three days older than me.  No apparent health issues, he just dropped while he was exercising with his son. 

Steve was a tall, quiet man who was active at Advent.  I didn't know him very well, and I didn't know we almost shared a birthday until the funeral.  If there was a vote of who would keel over first between Steve and me, no one would have picked Steve. 

But who are we to question why things .  Good will come from everything and it still hurts.  My heart goes out to Brenda, Brandon and Derek, and all those who knew Steve well.
