I mostly keep my personal life out of this blog, but today was a sad day for me because a friend of mine passed away. While I had never met him personally, I have followed him and listened to him for my entire adult life. He’s been with me when I was at my best, and he has comforted me when I was at my worst. I do not feel sorry for him, because it would be hard to imagine a richer life than the one he lived. I feel sorry for the world that has to go on without him. Life will go on, but the world seems a little smaller and a sadder without him.
