For Scott

(My friend Scott Curry passed in the early morning of the 31st after a long struggle with pancreatic cancer. He was a BOTL, although not a member here. I invite you to join me in wishing Scott a good voyage and luck in his new endeavors.)


Maybe you're jamming with Hendrix; more likely, Randy Rhodes.

Maybe discussing social theory with Heinlein.

Or working with God to adjust the nature of lightning.

No matter; I'm just glad you're out of pain, beyond its evil grasp.

I don't know why you had to suffer; I'm having my own squabbles with God these days, and he's being his usual, reticent self - so I know I'm not getting any answers anytime soon.

What I do know is that I'm glad I knew you.

You were a good man and a good friend. I loved you, even if I didn't always show it.

And now I'll miss you, Scott.

Buen viaje, mi hermano.
 
Thoughts and prayers for all, and hope Scott is in fact trading licks with Randy and Jimi now.
 
Requiescat in pace

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell;
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.
 
Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.
Helen Keller

Sorry to hear we lost a BOTL...if he was your friend then he was a friend to us all. Rest in Peace.
