I was reminded again today about Jonathan

I am preparing for Lotusphere this year, and I was remembering my 50th birthday year - which I decided to celebrate for a whole year. I decided to do things I'd never done before, the first of which was to ride as many roller coasters as possible in one evening - at Lotusphere 2 years ago. IBM had bought time at Islands of Adventure so the crowds and lines would be small. I never ride coasters anymore because of the lines involved, but this was perfect! All I needed was a willing buddy. And of course you know who volunteered. Jonathan and I ran from coaster to coaster, riding at some of them twice, giggling, screaming like kids and generally just being fools. I had a one-of- a kind- experience with a one-of-a-kind buddy. We ended up with 6 or 7 or maybe 8 rides in that one evening (Your brain scrambles after the first 5 rides so who really knows)

This is one of the many things I'll remember about Jonathan. That "Why Not?" attitude when I mentioned my plan and the fun, playful spirit that made it so memorable for me. I miss you, friend.
