I miss my friend! We met at Cox Cable in the early 80'ies. I am so sorry I didn't visit my friend one more time. I thought I had more time.!! I did think I saw her through my telescope, on a cloudless night in June as she rested between voyages at her Beach House on the moon.

I listened to Jimmy Buffet all day today and thought about my friend and all the adventures we shared. I loved her sense of humor and quick wit. I will miss my friend. I thought I saw her through my telescope on a cloudless night in June, as she rested between voyages on her beach house on the moon.!!
