“And I learned there are troubles. Of more than one kind. Some come from ahead. And some come from behind.”
Dr Seuss, from I Had Trouble Getting to Solla Sollew
Last Thursday, I found out a friend of mine passed away. I worked with him at the bookstore for almost a decade, although in recent years our communication had languished to the point of an occasional card or phone call. Michael Richardson was a great guy: well-read, smart, sensitive, tormented, and side-splittingly funny. He died just short of this 50th birthday.
