Cool Before Cool Was Hot.

“Mangelsdorf”, a man known across our continent and seas for his nuanced mind.

His jaunty amblings on the streets of Milwaukee mirrored the beat of his time.

To have met him was a privilege worth appreciating forever?

Rest in peace, Rich.

I met Rich because my cat Lilly invaded his apartment without permission. It was embarrassing for me and the cat. To make amends I offered fudge and a dinner. The dinner was okay. The conversation blew our minds. Our first son’s middle name is Richard. Rich represents what is valuable in life. Screw the man and appreciate the art.
