see ya...

i just had a week of hell - dealing with more contractors who do 62% of their job, ruining rooms they purport to fix. all the while kicking me out of my home, making the mess of a lifetime, and limiting my access to the internet and ability to meet my work deadlines.

i also learned that someone i had met while touring around for three months with a broadway show had died in a motorcycle accident. i remembered learning that he had a bike while we were somewhere in california.

"what are you doing today nicky?"

"i'm going for a ride along the coast."

"what do you mean "ride"?" my interest roused.

"my bike."

"a motorcycle...?" i purred.

"yup. see ya."

he never took me up on my "invitation".

on an unrelated night, i was hanging out in a friend's room. we were bored out of our trees.

"who should we call? nicky?"

"yeah, give him a call..."

turned out, nicky was watching an unfortunate halle berry movie.

"awesome! we're coming down!"

i know nicky had a lot of people around him who loved him. he was soft spoken, shy, and kind. i'm sorry they're hurting.
