Can't Sleep

CAN'T SLEEP

JOURNAL ENTRY, 15/01/2016, 05:22 hrs., PSI, Friday, my place, 4³C foggy with slight drizzle, MOOD 40/60

Can't sleep, on this foggy night, its like the Orson Welles film “The third man”. I have the sniffles and a bit of a chill but my first coffee is taking care of that.

Meeting Ed McCaan today at 10:00 hrs., at Milano's. The Jackster will be in attendance, not transcendence like my spell checker wants, ha ha.

An old comrade from my PPCLI days, John (clu) Crawford has passed away at 87, he served in Korea with the 1^st battalion and did peacekeeping gigs in the third and second battalions and left the service in 77 after 30 years of service with the rank MWO a good family man with a wonderful sense of humour. 

He was my platoon SGT. when I was a lowly L/CPL in 8 Platoon C company in Germany 55-57 and Victoria in 58.

It seems like my in boxes in my 3 e mail addresses  are full of death notices since the start of 2016 even my Face Book page is stating to look like the obit columes in the print news papers.

Like the old song says, the roof leaks and the chimney leans and there is a hole in the seat of my old blue jeans, piss and moan, piss and moan.
