Kurt Vonnegut, RIP

Died at the age of 84. One of the best of the best. One of the 2-3 people in the world whose ALL works I own and have read at least once. He'll be missed.

Only three words will do: "So it goes".

Given Vonnegut's style, I'd like to mention a story he told at a talk I saw that is quite appropriate. He was describing a funeral that he attended for a leader of an agnostic society. He was asked to speak, and as he started his talk, he looked out at the audience, and said "He's in God's hands now." Much laughter ensued.

Amen, Kurt. Many of us have enjoyed your travels and stories.
