Running late this morning as we were up in the night with some upsetting news about a friend possibly passing away Stateside; even in the age of social media, you can still get caught playing Telephone when people who only half-know the situation are texting and the only people who know what’s going on aren’t saying anything about it.

Which is understandable; we’re remote and they have things to deal with.

It made for a rough night, though — the people are in question are friends of my wife’s for 20+ years; one of only a handful of people invited to our wedding. We aren’t in constant contact, but still feel close.

So a pretty sleepless night and a stressfull day ahead as we wait for more official news.
