Hear hear!

In fact, I may go get loaded right now.

I'm getting that "wanting to pull my hair" feeling, which is never good.

Hang in there pal, he's in that great smithy in the blue future.  You'll 
see him again.

When Chris Ray died in 2000, I was pretty wrecked for awhile.  Sometimes 
I write to help straighten myself out.  This is what I wrote for him:

	I stood alone in dusk of day,
	pondering the late Chris Ray.
	Rest now well, my Uncle dear,
	and thanks be for thy vision clear.
	Of friendship precious, fair, and fine,
	the honor of knowing, t'was all mine.
	And tho' I miss you now and then,
	I bide until we meet again.

The sentiment for John is similar.

Time to go.
