Sinister: The comfort of strangers

[Ethan Gold]

Hello Sinister,

I am writing y'all today for the comfort of strangers.  I've hardly met any
of you, have only posted a few times in a few years, and then it was usually
for some kind of music nerdism.  Today I'm writing to mourn: I've lost a
friend to horrific violence this week and I can't make sense of it.  I just
read some of the posts here from the last few months and found it cheering.
If I knew you, I'd say "glad to know ye."  As it is, I'll say thanks for the
spiriting words.  If I'm ever in the UK I will like to show off my bowling
abilities, which are occasionally impressive.  I will note that I used to
bowl with a very rich friend in high school - he was given a mint silver
1967 BMW sports coupe when he turned 16 - and once he made me pay for him
with the following excuse: "Can you pay for me, dude?  All I have is 100s."

Affectionately

Ethan
