And so we became friends. Others have described better than i could how that was remarkable, how the precociousness brilliance, insouciance, and willfulness ,meant no dull moments. We drifted and moved and but have exchanged messages online infrequently over the past 5 years. It seems Spencer suffered foolishly at times, but didn’t suffer fools. What’s more, it seems he could entertain Susan Orleans in 140 characters; goad Ellen Barkin’s sailor talk; and dream of Betty Buckley asleep, and with her awake.Re-reading his tweets added dimension to the news the other day and made me laugh out loud. Hope you enjoy the few i picked out. The rest are of course still up on twitter at http://twitter.com/Spencer_Cox
Suggestions welcome. with love, Michael Goff -
