Tim, you should never share that which Scott and you spoke of, that is between Brothers/Trues as it should be. I knew in my heart of hearts that if either woobie or Scott left first, the other would follow shortly behind, as they were bonded in a way that was beautiful and pure. I still struggle with their loss, perhaps in time it might lessen, but the hole they both left behind, that will never cease. The memories made in the time we all got to spend with him, will be forever treasured and wish there was a way to write them down into a book to share with others who come after. Show where we started, how we forged into the future and how the Legacy of Gor was made.

Time has been odd for me in the past 6 months, losing a cherished friend woobie 6 months ago, then my dad 3 months later, then losing Scott/Ragnar whom I considered more than just my brother in Gor, but as well as in real time. He was there when my life was being twisted and turned uncontrollably, leaving me to flounder and flail. Scott was able to reach me, showing me that there was more to explore and experience then what I was wanting to do. He in a way saved me, when I was about to give up. I grew so much while I was in MTC, not the best times at the end, but they were of my own making, during a time that I was too emotional to see what was really in front of my face. For that, I hold a lot of regret, but the bridges were being mended and we were speaking once more. That's all I could have wished for, but the true wish I had, was that he would no longer be in pain, that he could do what he wanted without anything to stop him. *smiles fondly*

I see him walking through fields of wild flowers, woobie at his side, hearing both of them laughing and feel their love growing stronger as they reconnect their bond together. No more pain for either of them. The reunions with those who went before, the ones who he considered family and gave him the love of Gor are there with him, including KnightStorm's Dawn. One day soon, hopefully not too soon, we will all see one another again. Be showered by his love, his kindness and best of all his laughter.

I will miss you Scott, but I thank you for allowing me into your life and for showing me that we all belong somewhere. Enjoy your infinite time with the love of your life, woobie, no more worries, no more pain, just love and laughter.

The Washington Monument... ...I hope that I got the name right...it is that Tall spire of white rock in DC.

Anyway, my family drove from CA to the East Coast, back when cars did NOT have AC...so I was a VERY happy pre-teen during the trip.  (NOT!!!!!!!!!!)

We were touring DC, and my parents said that we just HAD to go up to the top of the Monument.  Well, in my RIGHTOUS frustration, I looked at the line we were in.  It was VERY long.  So, I walked to the front, and looked in, and saw the elevator, it could hold about 10 people.  I walked back, and told my parents that it would be about an hour long wait.  They just nodded, and we stayed in line.  I played jacks for a while...I always had a set with me...and then got up and said that I was going to WALK to the top.  My parents just nodded, so I gather up my jacks and put them in their pouch...and...

...WALKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was in very good physical condition, and just needed a couple rest stops, and I got to the top.  I walked and looked out all of the windows, and then WALKED back down.  There was a long line to get back to the ground at the elevator.  I rejoined my Parents, they were about 20 minutes from the door, and said that it was neat up there.  So, I stayed with them, and rode the elevator to the top.  We all looked around, and then looked at the long line for the elevator.  I spoke up, saying, "Hey, the steps aren't all that bad, and you are stepping down ALL of the time." 

My Parents bought my story, and we all walked down...

...Mom had to stop a DOZEN times to rest her feet, and I just stayed on the next landing below...   Dad was NOT happy with me...

I was VERY quiet the rest of the trip, and my parents didn't believe ANYTHING I said...

Thank you for sharing of yourself once more, Tim. I've been delaying my reply until I came up with something poignant or of comfort. All I have right now is "I'm sorry for your heartache." and " I care."

Scott had such great wisdom and now he knows all the answers to questions asked since the beginning of time. I think he'd find a way to still swat me if I said he's now truly a know-it-all.

( that's my attempt at a brief moment to lighten our heavy hearts. Absolutely no disrespect meant.)

Heartbreaking to read that. Although now there is no more pain for him.
Broken and at a loss for words, his loss is felt deeply.

MTC OOC / I truly don't know

It has been some time since I have posted anything or even looked at the boards.  Unless I am asked to look or told of something by very dear friends I have not gazed at the messages.  I spoke to Scott on September 2 for over 30 minutes and it was not my place to repeat some of the things he said.  He passed away on Friday October 13, 2023.  This great man held the line.   He stood his ground and stayed in the fight, but he was tired and it was heart wrenching.  I have listened, observed and read people by their actions, their speech, their tone and their body language my whole life and I could hear the pain of loss in his voice for woobie.  The longing for home.  Their are no words that can describe how I feel now, not sure if it's numbness, grief, guilt or relief.  This man, my greatest friend, my Brother and my True for for over 25 years has finally gone home.  His memorial and Celebration of life is today between 4 and 6pm in Ohio. https://www.starkmemorial.com/obituary/Richard-Early?utm_source=obit-share&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=relationship-bar&utm_content=copy-link

I dont know what else to say.

...Earthquakes...

I had what turned out to be an amusing event when I was working for the large Construction Company.  We built roads all over CA and NV, and our Home Office was on the top floor of a 10 Story Building we owned.  I was the Chief Beancounter, and had all sorts of Titles after my name, we had 15 different Companies we owned, and half were Union, half were Non-Union.  The Big Boss was the President of all of the Union Companies, and I was the President of the Non Union Companies, and was the Treasurer of the Holding Company.  I was in his Office, and we were on the phone with our Insurance Broker, we were discussing a Bond we needed for a large job.  We were talking, and then an EARTHQUAKE started under us, and the building began shaking.  I was ready to jump under the desk, and the Boss calmly said to the Agent, "Harry, do we have earthquake insurance on our building?"  The Agent said, "Yes, why do you ask?"  The Boss replied, "Because we are having one right now."

Thankfully, the quake stopped without causing any damage, and I just laughed for 5 minutes, I couldn't stop.

I did show some real cowardice one afternoon.  I was the President of our Trucking Company, and had NO IDEA of what the company did.  I did know how to drive a stick shift car, but if I was placed in the cab of a large truck I wouldn't know how to start it.     I was in my office, and the Receptionist said that there were SIX Truck Drivers that wanted to talk to me about problems they were having with the Manager, who REALLY ran the Trucking Company.  I told her to tell them that I was not available, and I quickly walked down the back stairs and emerged in the alley between the buildings, and beat feet for the nearest Denny's, and got into a booth in the back.  I stayed there for an hour, and came back when I was told that the men had left.

I bring some very sad news indeed.  He will be incredibly missed. He has some wonderful friends here on this site, my deepest condolences to all of you.
 This message is per Thorarin Bloodaxe;

Ragnar, passed away Friday (Oct 13, 2023). He was a good man, friend and brother. Gor is a little poorer for his absence. He will be sorely missed.
