Four days

out of surgery and my friend R was in town chasing down a recording of an performance/interview he had done earlier in the year on a local radio show. A friend of his had driven him in and was doing a good job of taking care of his needs early on in lieu of R's wife's company.

He walked very slowly and gingerly, as one might expect, and people inside the building we'd just left before I took this photo thought he might be some kind of vagrant, he looked so disheveled.
