My Mark Twain.

Kurt has passed on. And no this is not a storyline in one of his short stories where he is now teliported to another place or living under the sea. He has left us for good.

I began reading Mr. Vonnegut's books in high school and continued through college.  The free form freedom was so liberating. At a time when I thought I wanted to be a writer (I still do) he gave me the freedom to write whatever I wanted. It was a real gift.

He will be missed.
