I'm sitting here of a Tuesday evening thinking about a lost friend. Having a cold Rolling Rock, and enjoying the fresh spring air coming through my office window - how heavenly! No biggie, I suppose, but Rybugg was a good friend who taught me much - mostly about peace, love, and serenity in the soul...

Ryan was a queer little dude - obnoxious to the core, had short people's disease, and was the most sickly cat I have ever known. I got to thinking about him tonight because it is spring, and the cats are getting anxious. Ryan had two of them - a pair of black cats of a nodescript orign, with the unlikely names of Blueno and Blodgett. He loved those damnable cats, and they were special to him. He finally relented after many years and got a dog for his wife, but it was never the same. Ryan was a cat person...

I miss him. I don't generally miss ANYBODY, folks. But I miss this obnoxious little dude that could be a great friend. How sad...

Peace,

Charlie~
