59. It's so good to see you (and the other "old timers") again.

I know I've been among the missing, but the connections remain very real. The significance of DU to "Senator" and I is hard to express. Making his loss known to his online community has somehow been a separate, very difficult thing to do. I guess I just needed to leave him alive "out here" for awhile.

Thank you Patrick. I hope you know how much I appreciate your presence and kind thoughts.
