To be or not to be a friend of Jerry Saltz

Oh, to be or not to be a friend of Jerry Saltz. Is it an East Coast West Coast thing?

We really tried to be Jerry's best Facebook friends! We never missed a birthday! We prided ourselves on being very good and caring listeners! Readers! We always allowed his family to take over ours and pretty much ALL of the farmland and animals were his for the taking! I personally empathized with his spectacular need to be heard from the highest mountain top! Don't we all?

I recall the first day Jerry and I became friends. It was a dark and rainy day on Facebook. The tiny red flash on my screen jumped off the screen screaming "Jerry Saltz is now your friend!". We were overwhelmed with joy! Now, we could have more Jerry! We just could not get enough of JERRY! Finally we were a part of his inner circle of trust! Something we held dear!

And now, we remain a little bitter, a little confused, a tad sad and culturally betrayed. How could he have done this after all we have been through on Facebook? Without a word! If Roberta knew she would let him have it for sure! But, we, we will not say a word. No use in being petty...
