Here, in Mexico, in Lowell or San Francisco? Maybe Times Square, or Ft. Lauderdale, his final home. At 76, he would have been off the drugs, but not off life -- he always got a kick out of it. The orange ball of fire that is our warmth and our light disappears into the sea -- I'm watching the world turn from this fourth floor Mexican balcony. Below those with ground seats applaud the day's end, though I have another few seconds. It is now time to go out and live it up tonight, in Jack's memory, the way he would have.
