My roommate Joe is moving away to pursue his doctorate doing research in architectural engineering. He has been a level headed sounding board, a great friend, a one man support system and a non-judgmental confidant. He's taking the road more difficult than work-a-day HVAC engineering and heading back into the wild world of research (where I'm sure we all wish we could be). I'm glad I got to share Gridlock with him and bond over Dismantled with him.
He and his partner Joy have been a cornerstone of my life for the last year. While I'm sad to have them leave my everyday life I'm happy for their future together and individually.
Somehow they both have been able to drink, stay out late, dance, travel and laugh until we were rolling on the floor together with me even with knowledge of my past. I hope their common sense rubbed off on me and I can't wait to see them again.
