Everything is quiet, since you're not around

Due to being at my work's annual meeting this week, I don't have a plethora of time at the moment (on-site 6 a.m.-9:00 p.m.), but regretfully, I'm compelled to at least note today.

Two of my friends, Alma Striker (a former co-worker) and Harry Pankoski (a close friend of my Dad) both died within the past day/so (I believe both yesterday). Suckie news to get this week...


Everything is quite
Since you're not around
And I live in the numbness now
In the background
