Raoui, I really miss you today. Googled you and found the “in Memoriam” note on your university’s

web site. You’re gone and it still feels so unreal. I half expect you to call from heaven like that random

phone call you gave me while you were stranded in the Guangdong  Province during the SARS

epidemic.

I figured I’d put this thought up on this page. Maybe what we post in cyberspace can make

its way to the sky.
