About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Hi Pat, . Well, I think about you every day and check this thread once or twice each day to see how you are doing or what friends have to say. . I am quite overwhelmed with your outlook and approach to life. I am quite impressed with the outpouring from so many here on Audiogon. I am quite pleased to have the good fortune to know you a bit and be around this great group of people on this site. . This thread has had me reach a good bit inside myself over the past few weeks and allowed me to more fully appreciate all that I have in my life. I suspect it has done the same for several more. . It has been very touching to hear what you value in life as you go through this tough stretch. I am quite grateful to you for sharing your feelings with us so openly. . Thanks for being you and giving a bit of yourself to all of us. My thoughts, hopes and best wishes are with you every day. . Warmest Regards, Larry . |
Pat / Steve, . I don't have the answer to the Syrah problem, but you might want to copy and paste Pat's question on the long Supratek thread: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1016931418&openmine&Cello&4&5&st0 It is quite long so you will need to go to the bottom of the thread and page forward to get to the bottom. . You can also copy and paste the same question and send to Mick at Supratek ([email protected]) and see what he has to say (if you have not tried this already). . Pat, It is great to hear you rambling away and in such good spirits. I am glad to hear that your system is sounding so good. Let us know what happens when you drop the Ridge Street and Starsound products into the mix. . Steve, you are a great friend and Pat is quite luck to have you. . Best Regards, Larry . |
. Hi Pat, . Just checking in. Here's hoping getting off of the Taxol is a good thing energy wise and that the next drug option is kind and helpful. . Thanks again for the openness of what you are going through. Reading this thread never fails to remind me to appreciate all that I have been blessed with and how fleeting it all can be. . My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will give you a call in the next couple of days . Love, Larry . . |
. Hi Pat, . It was good catching up with you on Saturday night by phone and I was glad to hear that you were feeling a bit better. I am truly sorry for the Rollercoaster ride that you continue to endure, but selfishly, I am glad to have you around to talk with. . It was wonderful seeing you at the RMAF and I was delighted to finally get to meet Barb in person. She is the Angel that you always refer to (and you deserve her). . Talk to you soon. . Much Love, Larry . |
. Pat, . I have continued to think about you daily and lately, it seems more like hourly. . Our conversations have been wonderful, happy, sad, poignant, inspiring, frustrating and full of love. . I am blessed to have had the chance to know you and my life has changed as a by product of your courage and insights. I have always felt blessed for my family and life, but knowing you has greatly enhanced my perspective and appreciation for life and my blessings. . Thank you first for being such a good friend and then for sharing so openly with all of us, for your display of courage in facing what we must all handle at some point. I pray that I will handle it all with even half the grace you have displayed. . I dread not being able to pick up the phone to give you a call and will miss you greatly. I am and will always be grateful for all that you have shared with me. . Thanks for being my good friend and such an inspiration to all of us. . Love, Larry . |
. Barb, . It was good speaking with you last night, as always. I have been so moved with how you have cared for Pat and flowed through such a difficult time. . Your selflessness is rather stunning. Know that we will all still be here for you long into the future and please count on us for any way that we might be helpful. . Talk to you soon. . Love, Larry . |
. I think there might rarely be the day that goes by that something does not remind me of Pat and then I think of how all of it does not seem real. . Greg, Thanks for writing the post that got us talking about Pat again. I hope he somehow knows that we are all still thinking about him and missing him. . Barb & Amanda, I hope that somehow, your load is starting to get a bit lighter. . Pat, I hope you can hear us and feel us. . Larry . |
