Too much to make sense
Today I lost a co-worker and a friend. Abha Ahuja, a woman I knew for only
10 months, collapsed on Tuesday and died today. The details are insignificant,
but this is the first time I've lost someone I've cared about well before I could have
expect. Worrying for her this entire week has been very difficult, and now my
grief over her loss is overwhelming. I will always remember Abha.

After a very stressful week due to the collapse of my friend and co-worker
Abha, I woke this morning and felt the need to go. I suited up, hopped on my
motorcycle and headed on an adventure. With little more than a clue, I wandered
until I found the point where the borders of Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana meet.

Here I turn left on to a dirt road south following the border, leading me to
|
this monument. I park and
|
Faux-Lady Bugs swarm everything. I walk south to find
|
The spot.

Returning from my trip, rushing around to clean up for Mike & Riza's wedding, Matt let
me know that Abha passed today, while I was out on my trip. Considering everything that
I had been hearing through the week I was not surprised, almost relieved since things
had looked extremely bad from the start, but mostly just shocked. Not able to react.
Instead I continued to rush on to Mike's wedding.
The wedding was beautiful as all should be. An outdoor wedding in Michigan is
tempting fate, but they were lucky today, after a week of really cold weather. Afterwards
the reception was best because I was able to spend time with all my co-workers, in
this very difficult time.

Another event planned long before our world turned crazy, the monkey combined birthday
and brits party, costumes optional. Most of work showed up, we were the quiet ones drinking
and enjoying each other's company. The rest of the party karaoke'd away (was this a first
for the monkey house?) with bears, elvi, and sailor moon.
