for my friend Peter

This morning I was notified that a dear friend and fellow plowedster died of complications from an infection while he was waiting for a kidney transplant. Peter Silver DDS was a gent and funny man. I shared many a dram and story with him. I met Peter at A11, my first Ardbeggeddon gathering. We ended up sitting next to each other many times. Early on he handed me a sealed bottle and asked if I would open it for him. No problem, I thought, and quickly opened it for him and handed it back. A little while later he asked me to open another, then again later in the evening. I didn't think much of it. The next morning when I sat down next to him again and he soon handed me a sealed bottle to open. This time I smiled, knowing this was a subtle and fun hazing joke to himself. I happily opened it for him along with several other bottles that day. As the evening session started, I handed a sealed bottle to him, 'Peter, could you open this for me?', I said in a very offhand manner. A big smile and chuckle came over his face. He happily opened the bottle. We were locked in... Tis a sad day. But great memories of a generous man.

Looks beefy. Do you know how much boost he is pushing? And I like it with the hood on with that center intake. Running 1/8 mile or 1/4?

Trending #2 - right behind the Apple event. (edit - Trending #1 - over apple) And this was a clip that I was looking for.

I cannot remember why - but I literally watched that in it's entirety two weeks ago (not knowing his condition). RIP again to Norm, for being relentless and fearless.

I cannot seem to stop watching clips. David loved him

RIP to a fearless storyteller.

I don't play (once when I was a teen - so, 40 years ago). But, I did get caught up in watching Critical Role each week about 5 years ago. They are of course masters at character playing (making me laugh out loud, to sobbing). I have never really thought of diving into it these days. I am not really good at 'role playing', I have hard enough time playing the role of Mikey on a day to day bases. Cool that you have found a group.

Still Wish You Were Here - A Tribute To Pink Floyd Various Artists 2021 Interesting album. Falls short mostly on the various vocal performances. Example: Welcome to the Machine · Todd Rundgren · Rick Wakeman · Tony Levin
