rest in peace, Artie Shaw

if there is such a place as heaven, i know it\'s sounding good up there.  if not, then his energy should be adding to our shimmer now.

Christ everyone\'s dying and i feel bad cuz i don\'t know who any of them are \

[gkg]

funny, i have the opposite reaction - i feel bad (ok, old) because i do!

don\'t feel bad over these ones, Spencer, they all lived long lives and did some wonderful things with them - i only feel bad because we\'ve lost them, not because they died - if that makes any sense to you.  it\'s really more our loss, than theirs - they were probably ready to go.

the ones i feel truly bad about are all the people killed in the tsunami and the wars - those people hadn\'t lived their lives out before they got taken away.
