Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries.

My sister called me at school this morning to tell me that he is gone. Here is my favorite picture of him.



(That's me on the left, the Sibs on the right.)

The memorial, such as it is, will be in Florida on Wednesday. I don't know how much of a service it will be, since he didn't want anything except his ashes scattered in the Rocky Mountains, which will take place at a later time. I think we are going to Florida to provide extra support for when his brother has to tell his nearly 90 year old mother that her firstborn is gone.

I'll be flying down on Tuesday with the Sibs and her husband, coming home on Thursday. If I can, I'll bring a laptop with me, so I may not be 100% out of touch, but of course, everything is pretty much up in the air.

See you soon.
