Welcome joyous readers. Thanks for being here.
Everyone on planet Kusha is eagerly anticipating the Kusha Yam Festival. It will be a fun and exciting time for all . . .
Well, for most anyway. There is a sad undertone to this year’s celebration. Typically Max Gavaskar is the Grand Marshal and opens and closes the festivities.
Word has come that her health will prevent her from attending this year. Last year her activities were limited but she did appear at the opening and closing ceremonies in a hover bed. It was up lifting seeing her and sad to see her so diminished.
The Festival will go on without her but she will be on the minds of all attendees. No one is sure how much longer she will live but I hear from her doctors that her end wont be long, perhaps a few months, no more.
Max’s absence will be a physical presence this year but we march on. Next year things will seem more normal without the participation of the Mother of the Galaxy and better the year after. Eventually it will seem as if she was not ever really with us and w=she will ascend into the mythical realm. Her memory will become embellished as the memories of all great people are. The reality of her life will eventually fade behind the myth of the Mother of the Galaxy.
Unless you read my blog posts about the real Max Gavaskar.
Never mix red wine and Oodo.
