Here’s to my dad.
My dad died Thursday, March 23rd of prostate cancer. I
went back to Cincinnati the week before to spend some time with him and my
family. My sister Karen flew in from Oklahoma and my sister Sandy flew in
from Louisiana. My dad was staying at the home of my sister Mary. I’m so
glad that I went home when I did, because I had originally planned to go
a few weeks later. Mary called us and had us come right away, because she
knew he wouldn’t last long. He really just held on until he had seen me and
Sandy, because we were the last to arrive, and when we had made our peace,
he started to let go of life.
My father and I were never terribly close and in fact
had very large obstacles between us. If I hadn’t gone home to visit then
he would have left this world without our ever having made peace. Let me
say that if any of you ever finds yourself in a similar situation, estranged
from a family member or friend who is at death’s door, please go to them,
be with them at this time. For that matter, don’t wait until it gets to this
point. Always try to make peace with people who are important to you. For
that matter, always try to make peace.
What can I say about my sister Karen? She’s trained as
a physical therapist but her powers run so much deeper than that. She is
a sacred fool, a healer, a compassionate angel. She slept in the same room
as my dad every night, as did I, but she rose at all hours to wipe his ass
and make him laugh in the death watch bathroom while I slept on the couch.
How can anything compare to the ability to provide loving care and comfort
to a person who is suffering and dying? What greater power is there than
the ability to make someone laugh while they are in pain, at three AM, with
shit running down their legs? No job, no status is more respectable to me
than this. How does she do it? How can she be so giving, so spontaneous,
so loving? I sit and make plans to get a better job, create meaningful art,
live a more fabulous life, basically in pursuit of the pleasures of the flesh,
calling myself a spiritual person. And I believe that I am, I mean we all
are. But what good energy am I really putting out into the world? How do
I help others? Am I just helping myself and my ego? How can I be more like
my sister Karen?

Speaking of myself and my ego
SHOW SHOW premiered at the New Meat Campus Theater on
the 24th and it was a success. I’ve been having so much fun working on SHOW
SHOW, it’s been the most enjoyable creative venture I’ve ever experienced.
A clip from the first episode is online at www.lavenderlounge.com/showshow.html
(this is an adult male website). Out of respect for my dad, I’m going
to just wrap up this tabloid without excessive blabbing. I can do that later
on in the month, when the April issue comes out. Thanks for everything, dad,
I love you.
