Douglas Adams. 1952 - May 11, 2001

Douglas Adams died at age 49 suddenly following a heart attack on the 11th
May, 2001. For those of you who don't know who he is, he wrote the 5-book
Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy trilogy. Possibly the most clever and
ingenius man ever to live, has passed on at such a young age. I am
personally still shaking, because this is such a huge loss to me. Goodbye,
Mr. Adams. You will be sorely missed.

"So long, and thanks for all the fish."
"The lights went out in his eyes for absolutely the very last time ever."

This occasion calls for some Rush lyrics, I believe. They fit the situation.
No pun intended with the whole thing about a heart...

And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones to start
To mould a new reality
Closer to the Heart

The Blacksmith and the Artist
Reflect it in their art
Forge their creativity
Closer to the Heart

I think Jil should adopt that quaint Asian custom in which the birthday person,
rather than receiving gifts, gives gifts to all of her friends and loved ones.

Nah, just kidding.

Have a happy birthday.
