(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.
