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.  

Hello, Diane -- You may not remember me but I remember I took you out once in highschool and before we could leave the house your father stood me up against the wall and frisked me. He said it was practice for what the police would do to me a lot later in life. I never thanked him for that practice frisking, and knew exactly what to do the many times I was arrested later in my stellar career. // Oh, yeah, I hope you have a happy Continuation Day, and have STILL never forgiven Rich for stealing you away from me. I ever get down to Marin again, I'll stop by and irritate you like I used to. -- "Ol Auburn Ed.

Jeezus! What is it now? 77? We're beatin' the odds. 'Course you're the only one left besides me who still looks halfway alive. Happy "Continuation Day". // Hope you're mom finally forgave you for all the pain you cause her at childbirth. Mine never did and Elsie and Jack always loved Ronnie better'n me, which caused my alcoholism, narcotics addiction, some criminal activity and rickets. // Hope your earthwalk goes on for a bit longer. // Bye-the-bye, you bein an attorney-type, can I get reparations for the couple years I spent in jail for cannabis now that it's legal? Just wonderin'? -- 'Ol Ed of Auburn (the one in Kalifornikrazy).

Well, damn. Hope he had a good earthwalk, that bein' all we get. At least he had Crowe for a buddy. Wait ... nevermind.

Jeezus, are we really 76?

I'd share my thoughts, but then I'd be arrested.
