Yeah Kevin, I am here.  Just kinda&#39; bummed today so not much to say.  Maybe the new GM and the new coach will whip the Broncos into shape - they sure do need it.  Why I am bummed - my Uncle Lew, who was married to my mom&#39;s sister, has always been one of my favorites.  He and my aunt never had children and he always treated me like I was one of theirs.  They live in Okla. and I rarely saw them, but called and always sent them birthday and Christmas cards and a Christmas present.  I last talked to my aunt about 7 weeks ago and she told me then that my Uncle Lew was having problems with his kidneys and they were going to try to get in to see a specialist but it could be a while.  I asked her to let me know when they heard something and she said she would.  I told her that I would come up to Okla. to see them when we go to Texas in April.  About 3 weeks ago, I emailed my brother and asked if he had heard anything about Uncle Lew.  He replied that our uncle was in the hospital then having some test run.  Life gets busy and I would think about calling and then forget about it.  Anyway, my cousin Kathy calls me today and asks me if I knew that my Uncle Lew had died.  I said that I did not know and she said she only knew because she was talking to our cousin, Linda, who works in the office at the cemetary and Linda told her that my aunt had come in to make arrangements.  So I did a search on the Tulsa paper online and found his obit, and discovered that he had died last Tues.  He has not been buried yet because one of his sisters is out of the country and cannot get back yet, so he will be buried next week.  From his obit, I got the name of the funeral home and went to their website and looked at the tribute to him there.  It stated that there would be a reception for the family this Wed. morning.  Neither my brother nor my aunt has let me know that he has passed away.  The obit also stated that he was diagnosed with bone cancer last month and I did not know that.  I realize that they have a lot on their mind and do not have any obligation to call me, but we were close and I am just bothered by the fact that I wasn&#39;t told.  My cousin said that she is not going to say anything to them about her having told me or talked to me - that way they cannot say anything about my not coming to Okla., as they have not let me know about the death.  Okay, I am thru venting...
