As far as I can tell, existence has an unbreakable partnership with non-existence. Lacking this dichotomy there would have to be some altogether inconceivable alternative. Of course it wouldn’t be an alternative at all. Like the green of a special effects cyc wall, it would be everywhere, all-encompassing, absolutely total. But as we are not living in a mobius strip, which is infinite, repetitive and single-sided, we must accept that things end. So it is with this in mind that I face the previous week’s losses of Farrah, Michael, Billy Mays and especially my traveling partner. After just six weeks, Stacy the Traveler is no more. At 15:20 June 29 she was honorably discharged from the Adventure Team and has returned to civilian life in the United States. I wish her all the best.
