	My daughter had texted me earlier this morning letting me know that
	David Lynch had passed. There was sadness. She knew that I
	enjoyed his art. I had a meeting to attend to so I set my thoughts
	aside regarding his passing for the moment.

	After my meeting, I decided to head on over to one of my favorite
	places to get a slice of cherry pie and a damn fine cup of coffee.
	This was at the House of Pies, which is where I am at now.[1]

	A friend of mine and I had been talking about Twin Peaks just the
	other day and I mentioned that I would like to revisit. It looks
	like I am m0ar inclined to do so.

	Several years ago, I had the opportunity to meet David Lynch. He
	was doing a signing at Amoeba Music for his Lime Box set when the
	store was on Sunset Blvd. There was a line going around the store
	and out the door. I stood in line and was finally able to meet
	him. He appeared to me like how I've seen him in Twin Peaks as
	Gordon Cole, except he didn't talk as loud. He seemed friendly
	and like some older folks I know around town. I told him that I
	enjoyed his TV show and films...yeah, I was a bit star struck and
	didn't know what to say. He signed my copy of the Lime Box set
	with the phrase, "my dog barks some."[2] I got a kick out of
	that.

	I think that the last thing I watched by him was the 3rd season of
	Twin Peaks. I liked his Crazy Clown Time music album...I think he
	had released other albums since then...I should check them out
	sometime.

	One summer for the whole summer my friends and I were obsessed with
	his film, Wild At Heart. We just kept reciting lines, re-renting
	the video cassette, playing the soundtrack, going on road trips
	blaring the soundtrack and saying lines from the film. Sailor,
	with his snake skin jacket that symbolized his individuality and
	his belief in personal freedom...Lula, thinking that the whole
	world is wild at heart and weird on top...Jingle Dell making his
	lunch...Bobby Peru with his nasty teeth and getting Lula all hot
	and bothered while Sailor's gone...man, I gotta watch that one
	again!

	Even though he has passed I know his works will continue to stay
	with me. I wonder if David is also eating a slice of cherry pie
	and having a damn fine cup of coffee in the Black Lodge along with
	Laura Palmer, Bob, Log Lady, The Man From Another Place, the
	Giant, and the other characters in Twin Peaks. David, you will be
	missed!
