So Long J.D. & Thanks for the Ride . . .

[NickDG 23]

In this age of iPads and people who can't bite down on even short Tweets a real man of letters has passed . . .

"I have a feeling that you're riding for some kind of a terrible, terrible fall. But I don't honestly know what kind.... It may be the kind where, at the age of thirty, you sit in some bar hating everybody who comes in looking as if he might have played football in college. Then again, you may pick up just enough education to hate people who say, 'It's a secret between he and I.' Or you may end up in some business office, throwing paper clips at the nearest stenographer. I just don't know."

~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye.

RIP, 1919-2010,

91 years old not a bad innings

You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)
My Life ROCKS!
How's yours doing?

Yep, we lost a kindred soul, didn't we. I haven't read that book in years, but I have discussed it with my kids. I think it's time to revisit it. There's a least a few things in there I can relate to.
RIP, JD
