Well, as luck would have it, Smithsonian is one of my favorite magazines, and I'll be in a book store tonight. Coincidence? I think not!
Syc...I wouldn't dream of writing your obit while you're still breathing. Tempting the Fates is something I try to avoid at all costs, especially with people I respect.
