On a related note, I enjoyed reading this today

Well, I didn't. Not a bit. Before I read it, I was only
vaguely sorry that a good author whose work I have mostly forgotten was gone. Now that I have been made aware that an
outstandingly unique and wonderful person has died, and that a once-in-a-lifetime relationship can be no more, I am truly sad.

But thank you anyway, my sweet Max. Wordcrazy, you are right: our Max is a gem of the highest order.
