I feel too young to be sending a sympathy card to a peer... An old school buddy of mine died this week in a car crash - he wasn't wearing his seatbelt - damn it Eric. This wasn't a friend I kept in touch with but it is still very sad to know I'll never run into him again. "Z" and I shared a semester of astronomy that was so boring! We had the driest monotone speaking professor and in combination with the reclining planetarium chairs, it was almost a guarantee that we'd fall asleep in class - just to laugh about it as we stumbled out of class. If it wasn't for him, I would have definitely dropped that course. Thanks Z.
