We never get the chance to say how much we care in hindsight. So true, the last time I'd seen him he had spoken at lentgh about some illness he suffered, and later called me to apologize for his "lamenting". Naturally, I dismissed his concerns but thanked him for being so considerate. We spoke a bit about the ailments we all suffer and discover as we age, my hand stiffness, new seasonal allergies and the like. I wish -as you point out, Simon- that I had stopped by again, perhpas listen more and above all let him know that I did "care". It was my first friend in this city (SF) I am slowly adatpting too, and possibly the only one I could chat about guitars with. We can only helplessly bow -not without protest- to the devine "justice" imposing such deprivations. Thank you, Simon and Graham, for your kind words.
