Joe Kelly Obenhaus, 2004, Austin, TX

I just found out that my friend Joe K. passed away two days ago. It upset me more than I anticipated. He developed Alzheimer’s Disease a few years back, and was already having memory problems when I worked with him at the Texas House of Representatives, so I can’t say I was completely surprised to hear of his passing. Still, I immediately felt guilty I didn’t seek him out over the last couple of years. It’s probably been 3 or 4 years since I last saw him. He was such a great little buddy. I’ll miss him a lot.

What’s not apparent is how incredibly cold it was. We were using my coat as the dropcloth. Thanks to my student, Maggie, for the photo.

It was overexposed, and bleached out quite a bit before I scanned it on an awful scanner in a PC lab at the school.

So brutal, in fact, that it’s gone. Before (from Google Maps street view):

And after (via Mom and my brother Ryan yesterday):

Ryan erected the flag pole and flew a flag that they found.

Only thing in my way is a 15 minute bike ride to the train station, an hour on the train, and about 25 more minutes on the bike on the way to the school. Oh, and here’s hoping there are bike racks out there.
