Remembering Andrew

[JesusA (imported)]

I just had a very nice conversation with “Andrew.” He sounded great and asked me to extend his best wishes to the crew of the Eunuch Archive. He brought me up to date on some of what’s going on in his very busy life. Harry is still involved in “goddess worship,” though she’s changed from pagan to Catholic. He was getting ready to go to mass when I called.

Other than work, most of his effort today is devoted to counseling in AA. He’s concerned, especially, about the high number of very young drug and alcohol addicts in Los Angeles. The kind and caring persona that he demonstrated on the Archive extends to his work with young adults. Harry asked me to remind all of you of Jesus’ admonition to “love one another.”

The phone call was punctuated with frequent puns – most of them quite bad, as would be expected. He reminded me that he’s “pussy-whipped” by the three elderly cats he’s caring for, but that, as a eunuch, “that’s the only pussy” he’ll ever get. He commented that he’s now nearly bald, but once he’s completely bald he knows he’ll be ready to enter Heaven as “there is no parting there.” It went on and on….

Harry suggested that I post his telephone number and email address publicly on the Archive for any of the old-timers who remember him and want to make contact. If he’s not home, his answering machine starts out “You have reached a cat house….”

Harry also said that he will try to make it to the West Coast MoM in San Diego. It’s only about an hour’s drive from where he lives.

Won't even try! Great to hear from Andrew. "No parting," indeed.

Awww, it's nice to hear Andrew is doing well. I always loved hearing his kitty stories. I think he feels about his cats the way I do about my dogs. I'm so glad to hear about his helping with the youth in LA. I know his sobriety is so important to him. Andrew, if you ever stop by to read or lurk, please say hi!

I definitely remember Andrew. He was one of the few people I followed when I was in lurk-mode way back when. Hearing about his care for cats was something I could relate to. His devotion to senior cats is astonishing.

Glad to hear he's ok.

I remember him too from way back, AA the cats...a nice guy working his program. God bless him, I've seen the nightmare that alcohol can produce. It's much better to develop your personality and find yourself sober than with spirits. Later in life you have something to enjoy and life is not so hellish....dry.

God bless him
