For those who haven't, i urge you to click on the Robert Bausch link.
 
Here's three things that i really liked:
 
"The Bausch brothers — identical twins who were both red-haired, bearded and left-handed — were often mistaken for each other and occasionally taught each other’s classes without telling the students."
——-
“People ask me, ‘How come you write about despair and death?’ ” he said in 1982. “And I say, because our childhood was so perfect. It was an extraordinary disillusionment to find out that the world wasn’t like that.”
——-
During a temporary assignment at American University, he taught a freshman honors class in which each student was required to deliver an oral report.

When one student failed to show up to give his report, his roommate explained, “He’s not feeling too well.”

“Is that a fact?” Mr. Bausch replied, according to another AU faculty member who spoke to The Post in 2002.

Mr. Bausch then took the entire class on a field trip across campus to the absent student’s dormitory room. Mr. Bausch pounded on the door until the groggy student appeared, clad only in a towel. He promptly got dressed and rejoined the class.

After that, Mr. Bausch’s colleague said, “Bob had no further trouble with absentees.”



 
Oh, I can hear him saying this.

At that time Dick and Bob’s facial hair didn’t match. Almighty Me is my second favorite, after The Lives of Riley Chance.

I highly recommend both Bausch's writing. I'm biased, though toward Bob's.

Just read on line of the death of Marty Balin, who should need no introduction.
 
For those younger than . . . (oh, shut up) a co-founder and song writer for the Jefferson Airplane.
 
All my childhood icons are departing at too fast a clip.
 
RIP Mr. Balin.  You lifted my childhood.
