Big Jimmy, the nighttime security guard at my old dorm, has passed away. So sad. I’ll miss the long rambling conversations about people I had never met, his collecting of soda cans, which he traded in and bought us food with, and his sense of permanence. I guess nothing is permanent.
I’m sad not to have spent more time with him. The times I had sitting talking with him about the “real” world outside of MIT helped me get through my time there…He was a really sweet, if totally strange, man.
