Whew. It's been a while, but there are times you just have to write. I just read this lament by Richard Dawkins over Douglas Adams' death. Sad, poignant, funny. Reminders that Douglas Adams spoke and lived the same way he wrote. "…The depression uncannily being exactly the same shape as the puddle."

I own all five books in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy, and have read both Dirk Gently novels… god, I'm going to miss you, Mr. Adams.
