In Requium

Another of my favorite authors has passed on. Robert Jordan, author of the "Wheel of Time" fantasy series.

My middle son got me involved in this series. While I loved the stories, like many fans, I got tired of waiting for the next book to come out. But now the story is well and truly over.

Too many of the authors I read and love have died recently. They will all be missed, and yet they live on through their works. I know my reading life was made richer by their stories and I thank them for the enjoyment they brought me.

Tips and Teasers: You’ve found a camera – but a very special one. As the ancients feared, when you snap a picture, you really do capture the soul of the person. You have the power to delete, thus ending that person’s life – or upload – give them back their life. What do you do?

Thought for the day: It's not necessarily the amount of time you spend at practice that counts; it's what you put into the practice. - Eric Lindros
