Oh man... Life is not fair sometimes...

Just got some crushing news...  A cousin who fell due to heat stroke/heat exhaustion while running in a half-marathon in Pennsylvania last weekend just passed away.  He was only 23!  A smart kid too (Stanford grad) and healthy (an athlete).  When he fell he hit his head causing a skull fracture and a concussion.  He never regained consciousness and his organs all started to fail a couple of days ago.
 
I have a few other things to say, but I won't violate the TOS here.  
 
Well I WAS having a nice day, not anymore...

    Thanks for the support!  All families have their good eggs and their bad, but John was probably the best of the good eggs with unlimited potential and a bright future.  That makes it a much tougher pill to take...

    That sucks Craig, I'm really sorry to hear that. Heat exhaustion is a very sneaky thing - sometimes when you're exerting yourself in the heat you don't realize just how hard it is on your body until it's too late. 23 is way too young to go.

    So sorry to hear that.

     In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

    Our thoughts and prayers are with you. The death of the young is always harder....

    “Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy” is attributed to Benjamin Franklin perhaps in error, but the thought remains a worthy sentiment nonetheless.

    Just found out he was running in a charity half-marathon in 101F heat...  The event organizers should have postponed it.

    Wow, it keeps getting worse!  His obituary was just posted at the funeral home's website (http://www.suessfuneralhome.net/memsol.cgi?user_id=1845503) and I find he was a jazz musician as well - among lots of other honors.
