Els, if you have an opportunity, the Oct issue of Smithsonian magazine has an article entitled "Dead Lines". It's about Obits, the people who write them around the world, their history and how they differ in different countries and papers. An excellent read, pretty funny and very interesting.
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.
