    Thank you for moving our tribute to the top of the sidebar, dear Fay.

    Love and gentle hugs to everyone this morning. The empty chair at our Kitchen Table will always remain.

    It saddens me deeply that such a keen mind should be silenced. He is missed.

    Thank you for posting the memorial and moving the tribute, lady red and Fay. I think of solus from time to time and wish he was still here to comment. I will go dig up one of his favorite graphics and post it in his honor, I think he'd like that (I know TCKT men will as well).

    I think he would have liked her.

      Putting a tattoo on a beautiful woman is equivalent to allowing a 7 year old to modify the Mona Lisa with Crayolas

    I miss him too.

    Although I had nothing to do with the memorial or moving the tribute to top of the sidebar. Someone else deserves the thanks for that. Thanks for the lovely post lady red.

      Hmm, I saw the Magic Fayre dust and thought it was you! Thanks to a special someone for moving the memorial to the top of the page.

    solus rex was possessed of a soul which strove to transcend lies and illusions and vanities. In that he remains an inspiration to me.

    He was also possessed of a soul which was extraordinarily gentle. In that, too, he is an inspiration and a source of emulation.

    Thanks for the memorial tribute and for reminding me of the date. I can't believe it's 2 years since Solus passed away. I always enjoyed our little conversations, with his arcane references to literature and history. He challenged me and made me think. I miss him too.

    I miss him. He made me see how often I go off half-cocked, and how much better I might be if I thought more before acting (or speaking)
