Today is the anniversary of Robert Bruce Thompson’s death. Is it even possible that it was 8 years ago? So much has changed in our world, and here, yet so much still remains. Being prepared is better than not. We can get through disasters, and life will go on. There is an ‘after’. What you do ‘before’ makes a great deal of difference in what ‘after’ looks like. Community makes everything better.
Raise a glass for our absent friends- gone, but not forgotten. Still present, like the ripples in the pond. They live on through the changes they made in us, the people around them.

Tuesday. Good morning!
Absent friends. I miss them. I miss RBT’s “voice” here, although I can often guess what he might have said about a particular topic. I miss Dr Pournelle too. The world is richer for having known them, but the internet is a thinner place without them.
I notice, as time goes by, that the cohort of sites on the internet that I consider worth looking at every day, or even regularly, is getting smaller and smaller. Maybe that is just the universe telling me to spend less time online and more time doing stuff myself.
