34 years ago I was trying hard not to get serious about the lady who would become my wife. At the time I had convinced myself she was too old. As my friend James said, "she is 35 fucking years old." (I was 28 at the time. Now James is dead and my lady is almost 70 and rocking on) Anyway Glenn had dated her on and off during the same time as I was. But one day I saw them together and decided at that very moment that I did indeed want her for myself.
We didn't really see much of him for the next 20 years, but for the last 15 we have got to be really good friends. The wife has a (mostly classmates) social club that meets once a month, and even though he wasn't a classmate, he often went.
Glenn lost use of one of his arms during high school. But he did anything an able bodied person could do. He had RV's, boats, tractors, etc, etc.
Sadly he was also a MAGA redhat, and bought the covid misinformation hook, line and sinker. The wife saw on FB last night that he is in ICU with a tube down his throat. Fuck Covid. Fuck trumpf.
Also my friend Smoke is dying. His liver has gave out. He had covid a year or two back. Not sure if it is playing a part in his death or not.
