• Time to say goodbye

    From billv@21:1/5 to All on Fri Feb 18 19:47:19 2022
    Looks that way after 82 years. I've met a few good friends here and a
    bunch of crazies. I've managed to enjoy many or perhaps most, each in
    their own way. This is the first goodbye posting I've seen in the
    decades I've been on Usenet. Perhaps there are a few cheers in the
    peanut gallery, but there should be no tears, hopefully a few well
    wishers. The few times thoughts about this moment crossed my mind I
    wondered how I'd think and feel about it. At the moment I'm wondering
    about what I'll have for dinner tonight. The end, like the beginning,
    is something we usually don't have much say over. I've tried to not
    leave much of a mess, but some things I've left for others to finish
    in my stead. If I had more energy that would not be so.

    Probably what I wish for the most is to have made better relationship
    decisions throughout my life. Even so, I was supposed to be able to
    trust those I trusted, and they, in the end, proved unworthy of my trust
    and my affection. But there's no use crying over spilt milk. The good
    moments, found elsewhere, were, for the most part, permitting me to look
    back and not regret everything.

    Thanks to the friends I made on Usenet, and Godspeed.
