I miss The Magistrate.

Imagine the things he would have to say now.

I want to add this: His memory is indeed a blessing.

Had known him for a long time at DU and it was always a good and interesting conversation with him. I too think he would try to encourage DU right now, while giving Trump a lot of deserved vitriol.

Interactions with him and I admired his writing style. But he always called me "Sir" even after I politely told him that I'm not a guy.

I miss him too.
