Great idea for a blog; looks really well-done, too. Too bad there's not an RSS feed. Good find!

Also a great source for Wikipedia. "You could update Wikipedia with that" is the new "You could build a Beowulf cluster with that".

What makes it for me is the writing seems to be high quality. Even their Sopranos article was good.

Thanks - I always read the obituaries in my paper - it's one of my favorite sections. I always thought I was a little weird, but now I realize I might have an unrecognized talent!

(sic) BTW the "Rocky Mountain Press" mentioned in the article as writer Jim Sheeler's employer should be the "Rocky Mountain News."

I really liked the Edwin Traisman photographic tribute. Who knew an empty Cheez Whiz bottle could have such poignancy? He lived a long life. Maybe Cheez Whiz keeps you ticking.

miss lynnster's Sopranos links does not need a spoiler alert. It doesn't go where I think she meant it to. :)

The original post URL - half way down the page, has an Obit for a certain character in the series. We antipodeans won't know what happens 'til god knows when - although even in Jonson's latest post - there's yet another reference to it.

They haven't got one for Colin Fletcher yet, author of "The Complete Walker." He started a whole generation and more on backpacking. RIP Colin.
