Marvin would have been 77 today

1. I was thinking of him yesterday

In relation to that piece about the dad who shot his son.

Both such senseless losses.

8. What synchrony. A few days ago

I went down some rabbit hole searching for something, when I couldn't resist clicking on a link of last words of some famous people. Brother Marvin's words were included. And I remembered being on a little trip in Philly and stunned when the news broke from a car radio at a street light. Couldn't help telling a stranger on the street what just happened. He thought i was April fooling him. The man and I just stood there on the sidewalk for what seemed like forever before we could move again.

Thinking about his death turns my stomach. May he rest in peace. Amen.
