Oh Spike, I miss your humor filled antics, you were my kind of guy.

We've been reading aloud from time to time. All the Light We Cannot See, Moby Dick, To the Lighthouse, several John Banville novels. Great stuff, all of it. There's the sound of the spoken word, and, of course, there's the pleasure of the shared experience.

So, following in that tradition, the other night we cozied upon the couch and read Becoming Pearl and Spike aloud. It doubled the pleasure. Together, we relished in your clever phrases, your deep affection for your subject, your humor. Thank you.
