Another Birthday
Today would have been Harry's 44th birthday. I think he would have liked this one, as it would be his "hard eight" birthday. I miss you Brown. It's been two years, but it hasn't gotten any easier.

Happy Birthday HB2, I don't know what a hard 8 is, but it sounds funny.

It's from playing craps. You can make an eight with many combinations, but when you roll two 4's, it's called a hard eight.

It's been so long since I posted under my own name, I couldn't remember how to do it. Now I'm me. :)

Happy birthday HB and to all of our friends with early August birthdays. Miss you pal. Hard eight kinda sounds dirty. Or maybe it would be a good name for a punk band. Just sayin'. Be good.

I was certainly thinking about HB on the 5th. No more relentless cookouts, huh? I hope everyone is enjoying summer and this posting finds you all healthy and happy. I spent a couple of weeks in MA this summer and saw Father Brown for an afternoon. I was a little saddened that he didn't even mention Harry in the conversation. I guess we all wrestle with our own demons. Rachel

I dont know why I did it, but I went back and read HBs old posts from 2005-2006. gave me alot of insight.

Yeah, I read his old posts now and then. I'm afraid that he knew what he was doing...I don't think he wanted to, but he was just unable to stop himself. What a waste.

Every once in a while, I think of an old friend and poke around the internet to see if I can find them. I had thought about Harry in recent years but never had any luck looking for him until this week. I was shocked and saddened to find out he is gone.
Although I didn't know Harry well, I did know him off and on for most of my life. We met as kids and again as teenagers (our families were friends), then in our 20s we dated. Even though that was only for a short time, he left me with things I still have today, like a love of Peter Gabriel and science fiction.
It's good that Harry had such great friends. I know you all were great friends because I still recognize some of the names here even though it's been well over a decade since I've seen any of you. Not many people can make that kind of lasting impression.
Anyway, I just wanted to post some very belated sympathies to all of you. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I find myself re-reading this site at this time of year, looking for new comments. I pace around, talking to him as if he were in the room with me. I practice what I'll say to him on the other side, work on new material as a comedian would do. Harry, you're my Muse.
