This was the occassion:
A wonderful talk and reading from her current book. Much laughter. Many people.
And till this point in the evening a perfect ending to my day... then I turned my cell phone back on and listened to my messages and returned some calls. One of my co-workers had been found in his room.
Dead.
Just a young fellow. About the same age as my own kids, mid 20's.
Life is short. Tell those you know and love that you do indeed love them.
