Clouds all day, a little rain. The high was only 50˚F.
This morning, before I was even awake and quite by accident, I learned that Geoffrey died on June 15th, of a heart attack. No one fucking told me. And more than anything I'm numb. He and I were close from about 2009 until we began to drift apart in 2014 or so, and the last time I spoke with him was in 2017 (I think). I know the last time I saw him face-to-face was May 2017. But for a while, he was a frequent visitor in Providence, and one of the few people alive I enjoyed talking to on a regular basis. We'd stay up almost until dawn talking. But after his accident, his back wouldn't permit him to drive to Providence, and we just never made the drive up to Boston. So, we drifted. Maybe the sadness will come tomorrow. It's hard to imagine that we'll never talk again. And I am deeply ashamed I didn't try harder to keep in contact. I feel as though I'm losing people faster than I can keep up.
Today's Poe was "Ligeia," "The Pit and the Pendulum," and "King Pest."
This afternoon, I watched a documentary on the amphibious assault at La Pointe du Hoc and another on landslides.
Please have a look at Dreaming Squid Sundries. Thank you,
