A light of civilization goes out whenever a humorist dies. That's awkwardly put, but I have no artful words for the death of fellow Marine and humorist Art Buchwald, who has died of kidney failure.
Read the WashPost column. Find out about Buchwald's career as a wine taster for the Marine Corps. Better yet, find some Buchwald and read that.
Wine taster for the Marine Corps. That's just impeccably funny.
Art Buchwald 1925 -- 2007. RIP.

Hey Ceely, I'm tryin' to focus... It'll probably take another twelve months or so... Unfortunately for me.
At any rate... the worm turns, and I am fervently trying to adjust myself back into some sort of "formality."
I'm not saying that it'll be instantaneous, but it'll be eventual.
After sleeping under bridges for a few years, "normality" seems a hard outreach. I just wish that I could've accomplished a return quicker... but it was not meant to be.
AT any rate...
