I can't get home to see my mom before she dies

By the time you read this, she'll probably be gone. Why couldn't I be by her side?

    sorry, lw is still pond scum

    round trip airfare between chicago and asheville is $600.; it's been less. cheaper still is to fly to charlotte and rent a car, then drive. i bet lw's mom-- who flew to california for his wedding--would have lent him the money anytime over the past 7 years.

    in my book "love" is an active verb. for lw it must be just an emotion that hits him now & again: "i luv sunsets, i luv mom, i luv chocolate ice cream, yum yum."

    i wonder how fast lw could get to asheville if there were a legacy involved?

    i am reminded of an edna st. vincent millay poem i read somewhere. anybody got it?
