Missing my Rocco

[tim at unrealexpectations.ath.cx (stetson)]

Ditto Julie!

He IM'd me earlier today and I tried to get him into a couple of Roc ebay
sales, even baited him by saying I would sell the '86 8v for $300 (but he
would have to come to me 4hrs away because I really don't want to sell it
that bad. With it's rough exterior it would make an excellent sleeper
and it's nice to have a running, licensed parts car. Besides, for what I
went through to get it [ http://unrealexpectations.ath.cx/86_8v/86_8v.html
for the whole sordid affair] it owes me SOMETHING).

He'll be back.

It's very inconvenient to be mortal -- you never know when everything may
suddenly stop happening.
