    another cat that i used to hang with he died last week. stroke.
    we was talking on the # 23 bus not too long ago.

    every year one or two more die. i get more and more alone.

    i try to hang with the younger crew most of whom don't know what i'm talking about most of the time.

    oh well.

    man

    keep hanging JFP, as long as we are here, you will never be lonely
    and you have my phone number if you get lonely give me a call
    if i can't take the call right then you will get a call back

    the younger crew might not catch on right away but we/they will

    eventually

    But there is an alternative if life isn't short enough for you.

    You are blessed to live when others die and no one is blessed for no reason. Like Rich said it is time to teach. When an old man dies it's like a library burnt down.

    Now botha James what are you going to do, waste your blessing feeling sorry for yourself or fulfill your purpose by giving what you have (knowledge) to those who need it most (the younger crew)?

    BTW I posted about the song before I saw this thread so there is no conscious connection:D
