I got word today that  another friend of mine died this week. Justin  “Buzz’ Harlow was a friend of mine from back in grad school. Back then he worked at the Semiconductor Research Center (SRC).where he helped coordinate the research of many folks in my field. We’ve managed to stray in touch for the last 20 years..though I sometimes only see him once or twice a year.  He was a really nice and gentle guy.. and very smart.. we will all miss him.

I almost hesitate to write about another loss this month. It’s been such a crazy month in that regard. I almost feel that it tempts fate to write about it.. but then .. I know that fate needs no tempting.  I think my radar for loss is highly tuned right now due to Dylan’s passing..   I had to remind myself today that there is always great joy and great sorrow in the world.. and you get exposed to both.

World… lets try and find some joy…

nite all, nite sam
