Death in the Almost-Family

I would have spent today rallying the troops for a war on Easter or something, including a link to a particular episode of Robot Chicken, but this morning I was informed that a friend of the family died last night. He worked with my dad, and was one of those straightforward no-nonsense sorts us skeptics tend to appreciate. The last thing I remember talking with him about was his Xbox. Apparently, he was enjoying Star Wars: Battlefront.

UPDATE: He died in his sleep. The cause of death wasn't determined, and an autopsy wasn't considered worthwhile. Speculation about a blood clot came up, but I don't know about its validity.

I'm very sorry for your lose.

Sorry for your loss. In your sleep sounds like the way to go though.

(Unless we were talking politics and about going through life instead of death... I suppose just about everyone in the administration will end up dying in their sleep, seeing as that's how they're living.)

Btw, just my luck, started my blog and immediately blogspot developed some kind of temporary glitch.

My url IS valid if anyone's tried it without success... Just have to wait for the blogspot storm to blow over... thanks...
