Sam the Brave

When I went to bed last night, my Sam and Frodo action figures were both standing on top of my computer monitor, brandishing their swords as usual.

When I woke up this morning, I found that Sam had leaped down and was face down on the keyboard, his sword stabbing it between the "t" and the "g" key.

I think an Orc must have tried to break into my office last night.

Writing this morning

I only wrote 183 words.

But I liked them MUCH better.

Grieving

I've mentioned the office web newsletter I write for my law firm. Each month, I interview a person at the firm and write them up as the employee of the month. Last month, I interviewed Lorne, our Litigation Support Specialist. He had a whimsical sense of humor, which showed when he cheerfully answered all my impudent questions.
( Here were some of his answers )

Today, when I got into work, I found out that the fatal car accident that I’d read about in the paper this morning was Lorne and his wife. Some jerk running running from the police smashed into them and rolled their car. They couldn't have seen it coming. I am so sorry. It hurts, to see someone you liked, who was just a regular guy who loved his dog and his wife, and hoped to retire someday to Italy, get cut down in the prime of his life. He was only 38 years old.

We’ll miss you, Lorne.
