37. This is bittersweet. My BFF unexpectedly died more than two months ago.

Our last conversation was his fascination with the cable Western Channel. (He was in rehab, learning to stand and walk.)

He went on and on about Dame Judith Anderson and Bette Davis (separately) appearing on Wagon Train. I'd say he was excited.

I hope I can find these episodes, if only to understand better his last conversation with me.
