My 35 minute friend

The ferry we take to Seattle takes 35 minutes to cross the Puget Sound and it's quite common to get to know people only from your time together on "the boat."

Jon and I would chat on those mornings when we were waiting for the bus to pick us up at the end of Springwood to start our daily jaunt to Seattle. Jeff was usually there as well and it was a great way to start the morning.

In our last conversation he was trying to figure out how to build a stereo cabinet. Not a "media center" or a base for a 70"Plasma TV, just a regular old place to put a "HI FI". He was trying to figure out how to get his contractor saw to make cabinet-grade cuts without a decent blade or fence.

It really didn't seem to matter what the "problem" was, Jon was working to solve it. And I am quite sure he still is.
