RIP Kurt Vonnegut...

Wildly busy, much news...posts to follow if and when I can carve out a bit of time. I did have to post this, NYT has just announced the passing of Kurt Vonnegut. I haven't read (or, rather, reread) any Vonnegut in years...but I have read just about everything he put to print as of a handful of years ago. I remember reading Slaughterhouse for the first time many years ago...it had an amazing impact at the time. I'm going to have to go back and reread some...I really do hate it when strong voices are lost...

He passed away Wed. evening...that is, a few hours ago. The NYT article is a three page, genuinely well crafted article. Clearly someone had been polishing this obit for a bit. Mr. Vonnegut apparently suffered a brain injury a few weeks ago in a fall (which fell, apparently, beneath my radar).

I am going to bed...a bit sadder than I would like to be.
