Remember, Thou art mortal.

Sad news this week. An old college roommate, Bob Honacher, died suddenly of a brain aneurysm. He was 32. This is the second of my former roommates to die of a brain disorder. Shawn Wampler, from Bethel Park, died of brain cancer in 2007. He was 34 at the time. Just goes to show you, make the most of your time!

I am getting a little anxious about next week. I go for a blood test for the first time in a month. I feel pretty good, but you never know. Trust me, when I find out you shall be first to know. Have a good weekend.

  1. I didn't know you lived with Bob in college. I was so sad to hear about his passing. He was a great guy!

    If this is the second roommate to suffer an untimely death, then I'm glad I never lived with you ;)

    Good luck on you mouth test this week. (That just sounds weird :P)

  2. Geez, Joe, your roommate record isn't very good. I never knew those guys, but I am sorry to hear that you suffered their loss as their families did. It's true about not knowing when your time is up. My husband died @ 33 and it's a sad day when you watch the parents bury their child and you watch a 5 year old bury his dad.
    But, I have to agree with Jessica...I am glad I was never your roommate. In fact, living in the same town might not be such a great idea either. But I'll persevere and take my chances.
