Didn't know him all that well, but he must have been a helluva guy if all you folks praise him that much. // Figure the comments about me when I croak will all look like: Good riddance. // Anyway, the upside is he did good things, added value to this 'ol world, has something of a legacy, and lived a long and productive life ... Earthwalk "stuff" that always makes me jealous. // RIP Robert, or better yet, if there is some kind of afterlife, have a helluva good time.  

Another Earthwalk year under yer belt. Keep this up and you may outlive Crowe 'n Me-self. All 3 of us are probly the best thing that ever came out of Marin Catholic except all the "co-eds" who turned out so surprisingly beautiful.

Well, Antone said to update profile and mention somethin' exciting that happened to me lately, so ... had an exciting colonoscopy the other day. // Still married to the same trophy wife for some consecutive years now; still riding mountain bikes; still workin' to support trophy wife; still running 100 yd. dash in under 9 seconds ... er, minutes; still have a rap sheet from back when; still peein' out in the yard ... but more often now. // Latest headshot pic & mountain bike camping trip up in the Tahoe Forrest included as proof I ain't sufferin' from, nor been diagnosed with, early on-set rigor-mortis ... yet.

81? Jesus-Harold (His middle name) - Christ onna cross, how old can we get? Anyway, keep irritating the young'uns and your neighbors like I do and, if we don't live much longer, at least we'll have made our Earthwalks memorable and enjoyable. Well, off for a mountain bike ride so, in all sincerity (Ha!), have a halfway decent "Continuation Day". // Oh yeah, if you see Ragghianti or Crowe don't faint at how old they look.

Hey, Pat ... Happy "Continuation Day", and, hopefully, at least a few more!

I thympk Grady's a hermit, may not even own one 'o them intelligent phones or any kind of "connectivity" devices. Prolly has a ton 'o money from sellin' his 'ol ranch to George Lucas "way back when" & duzn't wunt to be bothered. - Just sayin' ... & if anyone knows different give me a holler. I'd like to see the guy afore I croak.

Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it is to the end, the faster it comes off the roll

Tim fell on me once.  I never recovered and was so brain-damaged I ended up as an alcoholic/dope-fiend/atheist/ex-convict & sex-addict.  No blame though, it weren't his fault ... I was so (comparatively) small he tripped over me ... was so small, in fact, that most folks @ Marin Katholic didn't even know I was around most of the time ... if at all. // With all that aside, I don't like to see any of us bite the dirt.  Tim was a helluva guy and I remember enjoyin' goin' to his place after our 50th re-onion. // Mayb Antone and Dave will set up another (75 year?) re-onion if any of us are still hangin' in there. // Meanwhile I'll honor 'Ol Tim out in nature on one 'o my mountain bike rides. // Hope the rest 'o you scoundrels & scoundrelettes are doin okay and coping with our own pending demises.  - 'Ol Ed (Up in the Sierras & still able to walk without a cane or have his diapers changed by others. )

Still kickin' around? Me too, but no one loves me anymore. I think it's because I'm related to by brother Ron who was, and still is, one of the most horrible humanbeans I've ever known, but who my parents always loved more than me ... sigh. // I just bought a RoofNest car-top tent for my old RAV4 so if I come down for maybe a last mountain bike visit on 'ol Mt. Tam, can I camp outside your house and use your bathroom in the morning? // I'm old but don't smell bad ... yet. // Meanwhile, Happy Continuation Day, & hope you live a bit longer. - 'Ol Ed (Up in Auburn)

Darwin's smilin' on you ...

I remember you wuz the only guy could down a can of beer without swallowing. U still do that? // Glad you're still kickin' around above the dirt and turned out as a relatively good kind of guy because ... I didn't! ?? - 'Ol Ed (up in Auburn (the one in Kalifornikrazy.) // Would have sent this "some of us are still alive pat on the ass" sooner but was mountain bike camping up in the Tahoe forest ... somewhere my parole officer couldn't find me. ?????

I remember Michael as a goofy son-of-a-gun as well as smarter than most, which really showed up at USF. // I couldn't help likin' the guy, even though he be way too smart for me to hang with, but I couldn't avoid his "presence", especially because he had one of the better sense o' humors I came across. //  Seems he led a helluva good life so I won't cry croc tears, but from my view he bit-the-dust too soon. //  These reports are beginning to seem like a crap-shoot.  Who's next?  Maybe next you'll be readin' about how wunnerful 'Ol "Mr." ?? Ed was?  //  Nice thing about obits ... they leave out all the negative stuff, which will be really difficult when Yores-Trooley croaks. // Woops, got a little introspective, so I think I'll go for a mountain-bike ride and honor the dude out where nature reminds me -- in no uncertain terms -- just how un-sacred life really can be.
