I just joined Blue Sky, and my first impulse was to find Rich Lane and follow him. I'll never not miss him, will I?

I've heard about Blue Sky, and know a number of people that have joined it. I have kind of a paranoia about joining anything new.. Of course, that's why I never joined Twitter.
I think about Rich a lot. I miss our conversations, and wonder what he might have made of the last couple of years.
My father always used to say that when someone close to you dies, there's the pain of losing a loved one, and also the uneasy feeling that your own name is moving up a list somewhere.
Well, now I'm on Blue Sky. I invite you all to join me. Perhaps together we can reach some other comics fans who have felt the earth shift beneath their feet. Or not. I don't know, I just think we should do what we can.

I was never on Twitter (though I ran a work-related one for a short time, pre-pandemic. It was deleted some time ago). I might consider Blue Sky.

There's a saying I heard fairly recently: You're alive until the last person who remembers you dies.

That concept has occurred to me already, as my own passing becomes more imminent. There are people and places that ONLY exist in my memory, and when I'm gone, they're gone. That thought really disturbs me.

There are places I'll remember All my life, though some have changed. Some forever, not for better; Some have gone and some remain.
All these places had their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall. Some are dead and some are living, In my life I've loved them all.
John Lennon was only 22 years old when he wrote those lyrics. Wise beyond his years, he.

'Course, by that standard Cap, you'll go on for quite a while... you'll be remembered for a long time, my friend.

Wow. That almost hurts to read.

I'm there in BlueSky already. My username is the four letters from my initials.
No way I am giving Musk any money if I can help it.
No, man... Ella.

All my life, though some have changed.
Some forever, not for better;
Some have gone and some remain.
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall.
