So long, JeffR. Keep those DUZYs coming from wherever it is your spirit may soar.

144. I rarely come into the Lounge ...

But tonight, I decided to take a quick look around. Imagine my surprise at seeing this thread resurface after almost two months since Jeff passed.

It's been difficult to adjust to the silence. We both worked from home, were together 24/7, and gabbed constantly about everything - politics, the news, the neighbourhood, our friends, books, movies. In our 22 plus years together, we just never shut up.

And the man made me laugh every day. His quick wit never failed - he had a one-liner for every situation. You know how funny he could be on DU - imagine what it was like living with a man who was that funny all the time.

One of his oft-spoken one-liners would come up when he read some ridiculous anti-Obama post on DU. He'd shake his head and say, "See, this is why I backed the Kurovski-Wetzelbill ticket - but did anyone listen to me? Oh, noooooo."

Thanks for your condolences, and your truly lovely words about Jeff. Wherever he is, I've no doubt he's read them/heard them, and is proud to count you among his friends.
