Bad Holiday Tidings

Finally home after braving the panicky Balmorons at the supermarket, only to get a call from Aimee, from the old Roots Cafe gang. Margo, who worked the door with me for 10+ years and who is presently the cleaning person at the office, passed away on Wednesday. Her family didn't bother telling any of her friends or her employer that she passed, and the only reason Aimee found out was because she called a couple hours ago to tell Margo the concert they were supposed to go to tomorrow was cancelled, and one of her sons answered the phone. No word at all about arrangements, cause of death, or anything else. Just that she's gone. Second year in a row and 4th out of six that a Roots person has died during the holidays.

The one good thing is I know Margo's with her husband Joe now, and that will make her very, very happy.
