March 2 is not a happy anniversary for me.

It was this day, 14 years ago, that I lost my best friend for all eternity, Joe Sullivan, in an automobile accident.

He was 23.

Neil Peart has said that time is a great healer. But you’ve just got to be around to let it happen.

I’ve been around. I’ve been around for 14 years.

I’ve never really come to accept Joe’s death or anything like that, but I’ve had some good times in those 14 years.

Definitely had some good times.

And most importantly, I’ve been around.
