Hi Ned

I just wanted to write you a few words. You are in my thoughts every day. I carry your smile, your gait, your gut with me as I walk through the world. I sometimes wear your clothes in public :)
(I'll try not to do that so much since I look goofy.) I'm wearing your Norcal sweatshirt right now and I wear that proudly. The baggy blue velour pants maybe I should give a rest. 

I see your face in my furrowed brow when I look in the mirror. I see you in the airplanes in the sky. I see you in the clouds. I see you in the sidewalk cracks. Ok, maybe not. I hear you in the silly pop songs from the 70's, 80's and 90's.  I see you the childhood rooms that still lurk in my mind. The red and black furniture. The wine corks glued on the door of the back bedroom to keep the sounds out (you gave up two thirds of the way!)  On the roof at the house. In the canyon. In the depths of the pool. You are everywhere. I see you!
