the wake

Thank you for keeping us all posted, Beth.

Beth, that is definitely grin-worthy. I can't imagine it wasn't intentionally so.

Eat and be merry, we will in his wake...

How perfect!

That does sound exactly like him.

How?

Re: the wake


It'll be a year on Monday.

I miss his sharp and sparky voice around here.

YEp, no matter how we all got impressed with ourselves, cav always had a way to let us all know that
nobody is keeping a scoreboard.

Can we hold a seance? I need a recipe for succotash of stupid supervisor.

Cav's in the wind, and whatever he's cooking, it smells great.

This is odd to find this thread up.

Riding home today from work, my worlds collided again.

I thought of hoping to get to an A2K Meeting soon...hoping I would live to do it, and others would, as well...and then thought how Cav used to be the one I wanted to meet moreso than anyone.

Then, thought it had almost been a year.

I miss him.

sigh. that time of the year again... a good friend jumped out of a balcony two years ago on almost the same day cav passed away. time to reminisce and also smile for all the nice memories.

A year ago already.

Cav, you are so sorely missed. Your food stories & advice, your humour, your poems, your intelligence, your enthusiam for music, your emails, your complete lack of pretension .... so many things.

Buttercup, if you should be reading this: Greetings! I would love to know how your life is going. How is the study? What else are you up to these days? I will think of you on the day of the anniversary.

I bought some tunes on the online Music Store tonight, and when I came across this one, I bought it, and always think of Cav and Buttercup, when I hear it.

He said it reminds him of Buttercup:

Short Skirt / Long Jacket Lyrics

I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes

I want a girl with the right allocations
Who's fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's playing with her jewelry
She's putting up her hair
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnng jacket......

I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Who used a machette to cut through red tape
With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass

She is fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnng.... lonnng jacket

I want a girl with a smooth liquidation
I want a girl with good dividends
And at the city bank we will meet accidentally
We'll start to talk when she borrows my pen

She wants a car with a cupholder arm rest
She wants a car that will get her there
She's changing her name from Kitty to Karen
She's trading her MG for a white Chrysler La Baron

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnggggggggg jacket.

She was so loved.

So was he.

It's never going to get better.

I'm of two minds about that.

I miss Cav. That's not going to change.

I took a life lesson in "too young, too soon" after visiting him in the hospital - started doing some things that I'd been putting off til a more convenient time. I have Cav to thank for making me take a serious look at some of my priorities.

I've started travelling more - meeting even more A2K'rs (that six degrees thing) - enjoying each moment as much as I can (bellydancing classes, more picnics ...) - thanks boyo :wink:

Still miss him, better for having known him..

Yes. Yes, indeed.

Any news of Buttercup, anyone?

Doesn't matter how much time goes by, I will always miss him. As I'm sure we all will.

I don't post very often in threads like this, because I don't know how to express my feelings. Just want to say, I have not forgotten and never will.

Love you, Cav.
