Just learned that a former boss died suddenly today

No details other than his son found him this morning.  Always kept meaning to give him a call, especially after mutual friends said he had been asking about me.  Just never remembered on the weekends until it was too late in the evening...and now it's too late forever.  I'll miss him, as he endured my teasing about my Vols beating his Vandy football teams virtually all the time, or about squirrels.  December is just a cruel month this year, having lost earlier a beloved former teacher of mine and now this :(

    Me too, Larry.

    Hardy:

    I am the family face
    Flesh perishes, I live on
    Projecting trait and trace
    Through time to times anon
    And leaping from place to place
    Over oblivion.

    The years-heired features that can
    In curve and voice and eye
    Despise the human span
    Of durance-- that is I;
    The eternal thing in man
    That heels no call to die.
