My deepest condolences on the loss of your friend.... He taught guitar,
too; sounds like he was a well-rounded guy. Not that one would wish ill of
anyone, but it has always amazed me that the nicest people seem to always be
the one's we lose, instead of the not-so-nice individuals.


We were talking about that today. For some reason, the horse's you-
know-whats never seem to come to an untimely end.

Blane leaves behind a wife and two little kids. I'm sure they are
going to be hurting for a long, long time.

My daughter, of course, is freaked out by this. It's hard for her not
to project hereself into their shoes, of course. We're all dreading
the funeral...

And we STILL don't know who the passenger was. Everyone is calling
everyone, making sure that their friends are still alive and kicking.

It sure is a bad day in Iowa. Let's hope they find the cause so that as
a legacy he can hopefully get something fixed to prevent someone else
suffering the same fate.
