Hey, G. I thought Dancing Sausage might have a few thoughts on OWS and I was right. And I missed Naomi’s piece, thanks for the link. The few times, I’ve dropped by, I’ve felt, well, ancient but also encouraged by the general spirit of the place. My office isn’t too far from OWS, if you go again, lemme know and I’ll join you.

I’m hoping you don’t believe that LA is the promised land for bicyclists and I’m reassured that I’m not the only one who has problems with toe clips!

I love this piece. However, re “forever about to tip over, grappling onto my feet to take me with it”: absolutely *everyone* who rides with toe clips or clipless pedals has a funny slowly-tipping -over story ready to tell. Usually it happens at a stoplight, while drivers of nearby cars watch amusedly and perhaps offer you a ride afterwards. Fits your metaphor, I think, that we all get clipped into a slow fall once in a while: even the hardest-core bike nerd should be able to realize that his balance is never perfect.

(My nice shiny Waterford is still languishing in my mother’s basement, waiting for the day I move to the promised land, or at least somewhere I’m not terrified of homicidal local drivers.)

Nice tribute…The Beatles were his favorite band, as they are Jesse’s. When I get a chance, I’ll read the rest of your blog.

Gill- As we are all trying to deal with this – you put something to electronic paper that was worth reading several times. Well done!

Cousin Emily, my “twin cousin” who is almost the same age as me and was close to me when we were little, just called on her way to work to say she’d read this, and she also was ambivalent about Facebook — like Jesse, she felt like “why am I on here at a time like this?”, but Facebook had also brought her comments from Jesse and Clay before anyone else when she had Sloane, and brought her all of Clay’s funny Facebook posts. She says she went back looking for them, but they were hard to get to under all the memorial posts. I’m going to look into the resources for gathering the Facebook presence of the deceased, which there’s been some discussion about over the past year.

Very nice. Patty, who’s been a friend forever, told me about your tribute here. I’ve known Clay (slightly) since he was born, and I too was devastated. Thanks, and cheers from sunny Vienna.

Cup, it’s been forever — why the sudden reappearance? How does this haiku relate to this post?
