In Memory of Kleisty

It's been about a week now that I found out that my good friend Pat Kleist passed away. I have been in shock about it this whole time, and up to now, I didn't really know what to say. Pat's been a friend of mine for a long time. We go way back to my first days as a freshman at the UW in Madison. Then there were the infectuously fun years where a group of us lived and operated the Madison Museum of Bathroom Tissue and the Down Below Lounge out of adjoining tenement-hole apartments. Since then, time and distance have separated our groups to an extant, but not our friendships and memories. Pat Kleist, you were a great friend and person. You will definitely be missed.
