Six is an awkward number, really.

[bzarcher]

It never wants to be quite satisfied with what it has. Hungry, really. I see 3, 6, and 9 as the constantly devouring predators of the number line. 7s, 1s, and 4s wander like giraffes and the wildebeest, unknowing of their fate.

But this post isn't about the circle of numeric life upon the lush veldt. It's about timroff.

Tim's a solid guy. He's got some very strong convictions, and he won't let back from them. You know where he stands, but he does his best not to preach or rail against people who don't feel the same who read his journal. I can't be that nice, half the time.

Tim's getting married soon to dania_audax, and I don't think I have to explain why that's awesome. Having the love of a good woman will take you farther in life than almost anything else.

Tim's seen troubles with his job, changes in his life, and the inevitable turmoil of getting ready to wrap two people into one package, but he just keeps pushing on and keeping up with everything. You don't see him complain or go crazy. He just puts his head down and pushes a bit harder.

It's a brave thing.

You're a good man, Tim. I'm glad you're around.
