Kind of a maddening day today. Went hither and yon, attempting to do some "shopping" or at least some looking for stuff. I accomplished a bit of it, but nowhere near to my satisfaction.

Other blogs, the state of the world, etc. I doubt I was a sparkling conversationalist. I never saw him in person again -- Oklahoma City is a long way away from Florida and Virginia, where I eventually moved, even after I had a car. And there was no money, no time... He knew a lot about pop music, and once helped me find a CD by an obscure go...
