Kevin Carmody

It's been 20 years. How? I guess the sad never completely goes away. And I sure hope Pat and Siobhan are doing well. I wish them nothing but all of the best. -- Mac.

For some reason, Kevin came to mind today. I worked with Kevin in Austin. We had a friendly cordial work relationship, and collaborated on a few of his projects. He was very focused, passionate, friendly, and great to work with. At the end of a workday, he approached me outside near the parking lot and we had a nice friendly chat, we agreed to have a lunch at some point in the near future and I recall thinking that Kevin really is such a cool dude. Every once in a while, I unexpectedly...

It's March 6, 2024. At my job, all day remembering it's coming up on a day to remember. I think of you and I remember. Miss you, my friend.

Was just perusing online and this came up. Kevin, you are missed. Life has gone by too fast. Remembering you brings me back to better times.

March is a transitional month and one that brings and links bittersweet memories for me. I thought of you a few weeks ago, when I talked with someone about having gone to Marquette; though you were not mentioned in that conversation, you were not far away in my mind as I spoke. Funny how time goes by but thankfully the memories stay where they are. P.S. I didn't get the Times gig but I was happy one or two of the departments did respond. I considered that a plus.

Now and then I just drop by. You popped into my head. Must be that time of year. You never know what impact you have on other people. I know how much you had on me. Pop in any time, brother. It's sad, but the memories are so damn good. -- Mac.

Yes, the collective is remembering you. You are synonymous with my memories of Marquette, me the California fish out of water. I memorialized you in five very recent applications I made to the "new" Los Angeles Times. It was my way of referencing you, who made such an impact on so many. Do you think they would consider someone who became a small-town writer? God, I hope so. I want to go home.

Hey, buddy. Thinking of you today. Good thoughts and good memories. Thanks for dropping by my brain. Mac.
