Folks who said their piece about Joe, after I mentioned him above, THANKS to you all. I felt adrift having missed whatever may have happened over the weekend, but I feel more normal now.
The irony about hitting Joe over the head with a bat, for those of you who never read his rare posts about it over the last couple of years, is that he was indeed brain-injured by trauma to the back of his head some years ago (but long after his service in Viet Nam) … and he described it as having left residual injuries about which he refuses to wallow in self-pity. I always thought that explained 100% of his foibles.
