After John died I just had this weird, persistent need to write this, a little conversation with a Supreme Being who looked like Ernest Gallo. Other than that I have no idea what it's about.<br /><br />I believe we're waiting for me to make sense. Long wait.<br /><br />Charlie,<br /><br />Well, I grew up a Koufax fan, but I might settle for Steve Carlton--only then I'd have to listen to the insufferable Tim McCarver.<br /><br />John,<br /><br />Yeah, my curve is good but so is my backdoor slider, which I throw to Steve Heimoff.<br /><br />Amy Love,<br /><br />I've spent a year ruining my image, why stop now? The weirder I get, the thinner my audience. It's my new weight loss program!<br /><br />My Gorgeous Samantha,<br /><br />Thank you. You'd have liked John. A wicked sense of humor, a wonderful palate for wine, and a great and generous heart. He was like you, only flat-chested. And he would have surely adored you.<br /><br />As I do.Ron Washamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10386836101202976147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-30737360252608129042010-05-10T13:03:50.118-07:002010-05-10T13:03:50.118-07:00The gift of laughter is one of the greatest you ca...The gift of laughter is one of the greatest you can give, you My Love are very gifted and I am sure John was the recipient of many gifts from you. A very sweet tribute to your friend Ron. Sending you all of my love and a big hug. I am very sorry for your loss.Samantha Duganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214278596698698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-11072290249230834942010-05-10T12:11:45.855-07:002010-05-10T12:11:45.855-07:00Ron

Charlie yours is consistently high and inside. Ron yours is simply as wicked as it gets. <br /><br />Now, who am I supposed to be waiting for? Paul Hoffman?John M.

No, you had to give me a taste for good food and the wines that go with it. And now you want to come to Ron Washam and complain? His curveball is worse than mine.Charlie Olkenhttp://www.cgcw.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-23142595640709768362010-05-10T08:30:18.167-07:002010-05-10T08:30:18.167-07:00I designed the lights for Godot in a college produ...I designed the lights for Godot in a college production. Not a lot of cues... <br />Hard to sit thru tech rehearsals w/o falling asleep. <br />It was the cadence...<br />Rhythm of the lines. <br />A lulling effect...<br />Always seemed to do me in.<br />...But I did like the show.
