10 December - From Mistie

I can't say that I know why Brandi liked talking to me. But she must have because we talked alot. I do know why I liked talking to Brandi. She was so damn smart. Now I may think such a thing because I myself am not the sharpest pencil in the can, but yet I believe that there must be truth in the sentiment as I've met some of you all and there's a veritable brain trust amongst the lot. And the thing about those B conversations is that they're hard to pin down in the ol' memory. Yet the rememberance resonates with satisfaction. Talking with B always seemed satisfying. I think there was something inherent in those yammer sessions, some undercurrent of authenticity, some weightiness that lent the process a roundness and umph. The sense of satisfaction was not so much in the talking points as in the talking itself. The process, the journey, the connections. I love you B! I miss you.

P.S. I don't have more B pics to share but I wish she could have seen these two
lovely faces.
