One of the things that strikes me now and again is that we
often spend years in conversation with one another on this
group or groups like it, and we learn some things about each
other and often come to believe we have this person or that
person pegged. And then something happens, and we find we
didn't have him pegged after all. Or ourselves either, for
that matter.
Reading the friend's memorial essay made me realize once
again, for the second time in a month, that we know and show
only the faces that fit, and that there are depths and
aspects and wells of richness that aren't even hinted at. I
was quite distraught to learn of Miker's death. I'm far more
so having read more about him.

Damn shame.
Among other things, miker's enthusiasm finally got me to read
two great books that had been on my shelves for a long, long
time: Nightmare Alley and Thieves Like Us.
Who's gonna rail against everything "pomo" now? Guess I'll
have to look up his rants in the archives.
May he have made it to heaven before the devil knew he was
dead.
