Condolences

We will suspend our usual nonsense today to extend our condolences to Edward Burch who lost his younger - and only - brother, Tom, this past week. Edward noted in a statement:

 "It was a pulmonary embolism, and he went very quickly and suffered little. He was 37...Hope you are well, and when you get a moment, please raise a glass for me and for you and for a brilliant young man who, as my cousin Al put it, has 'shucked the earthly husk' and his troubles are no more."
