poking around in the past, chatting with ghosts

Finally, I get an email from Barack Obama instead of John Kerry. It's about damn time.

I've been looking over past posts, dwelling a bit on those to which my brother commented. I could almost pretend he's still alive.

This toot on the romaticization of 'otherness' and wallowing in simulacral fantasies of how great things were back in the day

I could almost pretend he's still alive.

I'm sorry.

Thanks. It's a lot rougher than I ever would have imagined it could be. Nine months now, long enough to gestate.

You were in great form! Your discussion in that post should be required reading.

Three hours on the phone with your brother about that post...see, he was profoundly stimulating for you.

It is rough to lose someone you cherish. My mother still tears up when she talks about her dad who died when I was two. Hang in there. No rules.
