Sad. More and more of my what 'filled my life' is being consigned to history and I find so little to replace that void.

Yuri,
If you call my cell phone about 50% of the time you'll hear Mississippi Queen while you wait for me to realize my phone is ringing. Small world - I just pulled the Mountain - Climbing CD off the shelf and there it is "West, Laing, Pappalardi, Rea" listed in the writing credits. Sad but sounds like he lived a good life.
