Twins

Monday I drove down to Baltimore to pay last respects to a “Business Friend”, an individual that I have worked with for twenty plus years, just a great guy.

Personally, I know of no one who would include viewings and funerals in their “These Are a Few of My Favorite Things” song. (Although there are some twisted souls who might). In addition I have never seen a corpse who looks good, they look dead; not a good look even if you’re a vampire.

Seeing my friend laid out, he did not seem to bear any resemblance to the man I had known, I even considered that perhaps I was in the wrong room….. Until ….. There he was ……. Standing right in front of me ……… A Vision, Hallucination, Out of Body Experience ……. No none of the above …….. For my friend in twenty some odd years ………… never mentioned …………. His identical twin brother.

Goodbye Fred, I’ll miss you.

Mike
