A Pause in the Action

Hey all. Just a quick note to let you know that I won’t be posting any audio for ten days or so. One of my best friends just died unexpectedly, and I’m going to fly to Spain to attend his funeral next week and spend some time with his family. I thought maybe I’d put together a ROMA before I leave, discussing mortality (a perennial favorite here) and friendship and love and grieving and all the other things that feel so immediate right now, but it’s impossible for me to even type these lines without losing it, much less talk about it into a microphone. I’ll be back with you in late September, hopefully with enough scar tissue to talk about these things without falling apart. Until then, I’ll leave you with a thought that keeps going through my head, which is that Brian paid life the highest compliment simply by enjoying it.
