Such a silence settled into my head when he died, so many questions I would never frame or ask...And for so long I would be depressed on Tuesdays, because that was when the Science Times came out and we would argue...He liked to start fights. I would come down the stairs, he would say, "Savannah theory!" and we would be fighting until we got to the butcher shop.<BR/><BR/>I still look up when I walk, because Dennis always conducted an architectural walking tour. That's why we put an egg and dart pattern on his patch of the AIDS quilt.<BR/><BR/>We lived less than a block from each other, and our friendship grew from walking home from work as ushers at the Public Theatre. Which is how I met you, too. A discarded Christmas tree can make me cry because, on one of those walks, we decided that if you shook a snow-covered Christmas tree three times, your wish would come true, and we did this semi-solemnly for years.<BR/><BR/>And you left out history and archaeology (I have his Egypt books) and WORDS...you Scrabble experts. Did I ever have the courage to play with you cutthroats? <BR/><BR/>He never got to play with the internet. And he's the only person I ever knew who would have been as excited as I am by the UPenn online Sumerian dictionary.<BR/><BR/>12 years gone? And the impression as indelible as ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-364291179591360226.post-64413260640638702732007-12-04T15:12:00.000-05:002007-12-04T15:12:00.000-05:00perfect.perfect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
