Kurt Vonnegut dies at 84 :(

I grew up reading Vonnegut’s books - he had an honesty and a warmth that I connected with - and he acknowledged freely all the trouble and suffering that people go through - where everybody else seemed to repress such notions and chastise those who maintain such views.

I heard that recently when addressing a graduating class he said that it would be his last public address. A few weeks later he fell down, hit his head and died from brain injuries.

Hi Ho!

He said at this address that the purpose of life is to ‘fart around’. Imagine that.

God bless you Mr. Vonnegut, may your warmth spread throughout the world of the confused and the suffering people - let us all in on the big joke.

So it goes . . .
