“A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.”
Douglas Adams (author of the Hitchhiker’s Guide books)
I don’t know what the funeral will be like, but I guess I will find out on Wednesday.
He was in poor health for a long time, but he was only two years older than me, so it seems that he died too young. Since last January he had taken to calling me, mostly when he couldn’t get ahold of his younger brother. But it has been interesting talking with him. And I never rushed him off the phone, because he just needed to talk to someone – he lived alone, never married, no kids.
Goodbye, Chuck!
