(Sadly, all that remains of this post are the opening two paragraphs and a dead link to “read more.” But I like the opening so much I’m republishing it here.

Also, I have no idea where or when the above photo was taken, though I suspect it was around this time and possibly at the Opus Hotel.)
Another one has fallen.
It is my sad duty to report the loss of another wingman in the line of duty. Wingman #2, or Wingy as he was affectionately known on these blogs, can now take his rightful place in the Wingman Hall of Fame alongside Wingman #1, aka Former Wingman. Many hear the call but few are chosen. These were men among men; Wingmen among Wingmen. They served with loyalty and bravery in the frontlines of the Vancouver singles scene, but ultimately could not face one more cocktail party at the Opus Hotel bar. I can’t say that I blame them…
