Eulogy for Simon

 

Buddy, that was the best of the times. The days when we all used to chat together, and you and I messed the boards. My only experience as a hacker. You were mad and had hair a la Roger Daltrey and always spoke too fast and too British to my own good.

You were dreamy and you weren't wise and there were times I needed to ask wheter you were serious or not. "Of course I am. I am. Am I?"

I usually would leave the chat room steaming and you alone to the walls. Simon, you were mad. The latest and the greatest of them all.

It's two years since you left me, boy. I remembered you yesterday, visiting old friends' pages, and there was that picture of you at your house - you and Trashcan, your dog. I really miss you, and I miss the days we had. Simon. Weird man that you were. Lovely man you always will be. I still miss you. Always will. Take care of yourself, buddy, wherever you are now.
