But there have also been some interesting\u00a0 things &#8211; finding lost objects, for instance.<\/p>\n<p>I had a box of ornaments that contained a bunch I inherited from my first editor, Chris Cox, at Ballantine\u00a0 Books.\u00a0 I found them wrapped in colorful pieces of Christmas paper, so they wouldn&#8217;t get broken, and had looked in this box a dozen times and hadn&#8217;t seen them.<\/p>\n<p>Chris was a terrific person and editor. We became good friends and he and my agent, Diane Cleaver, both of them\u00a0 also writers, went on one of the Amazon cruises that Rob and I had led for Avianca Airlines back in the late 1980s. I don&#8217;t have photos of that trip. But that video gives you a sense of what the Amazon was\u00a0 like even back when we led these tours for travel writes.<\/p>\n<p>Chris died of AIDS in 1990. His partner, Bill, had died the year before and I still recall that conversation with Chris when he told me Bill had AIDS.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s going blind, Trish. His parents are coming to pick him up and take him back to Minnesota.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>His voice was choked, he started to weep. I didn&#8217;t know what to say, what to do. Bill was a senior curator at the New Museum of Art in NYC at the time, a big deal in the art world. I offered whatever solace I could, then we got interrupted and Chris said he&#8217;d call back. He eventually did, one Monday after he&#8217;d returned from Minneapolis where he flew nearly every weekend to be with Bill. &#8220;I want to be with him when he dies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And if memory serves, Chris was with him and died not long afterward. Editor Cheryl Woodruff, another Ballantine editor and friend of Chris&#8217;s, asked me to speak at his memorial service. We flew to NY. Megan was barely a year old\u00a0 and while I spoke at that service, he and Meg were at the back, near the doors, and when she started crying, Rob stepped outside with her.<\/p>\n<p>I used this wooden sculpture of the traveler when I spoke about Chris. I bought it on that Amazon trip and it&#8217;s how I saw him, a nomad who traveled through many strange worlds as a senior editor at Ballantine. After his death, Cheryl mailed the ornaments to me. So every Christmas as I&#8217;m decorating our tree, I think of him. And thank him for being my first editor and my friend.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-41108\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themysticalunderground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/0-1.jpg?resize=405%2C540&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"405\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themysticalunderground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/0-1.jpg?w=1281&amp;ssl=1 1281w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themysticalunderground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/0-1.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themysticalunderground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/0-1.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themysticalunderground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/0-1.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 405px) 100vw, 405px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So this is what Mercury retro often does: you find lost stuff and it triggers memories from the past.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the Wikipedia entry on Chris:<\/p>\n<p>Christopher Cox was born in <a title=\"Gadsden, Alabama\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gadsden,_Alabama\">Gadsden, Alabama<\/a>.
