Teddy Radiator

I kind of figured that's what you were doing. Even though I saw all the tributes online, I somehow couldn't bring myself to comment on them or even post a tribute of my own. He was a big part of my life for several years -- in fact HE is the reason I decided to get a computer in the first place. Before I discovered AR, I was content to use the one in the library around the corner. I think all the tributes and pictures of him just sent me into overload. I was depressed for a while, then I had a big cry in the shower. (My favorite place to have a big cry, for some reason. You know how the sound of running water makes some people want to pee? Well, with me, if I'm in that kind of mood, it enables me to cry. Afterwards, I felt clean inside and out. I completely can recommend shower cries.) I think it was the shock of it being so unexpected. I knew Bowie was going to die soon; I had heard he was sick a while back. But I hadn't heard anything of the sort about AR. And he was relatively young -- only ten years older than me. I mean, it's not young young... but far too young to die, IMHO. I think he pulled a Seinfeld, and decided he wanted to leave them wanting more.
