Richard Adams, who wrote Watership Down, has also died, and there's a tweet going around that almost made me break down.
No power in the 'verse can stop me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Seconding, Jesse, Consuela. It sounds like your dad was a great guy and at least he's at peace.

In mordantly black humor, all I can think is "I chose 2016 as the year to get sober?!"
Yet in four days, it will be a year.

You've got a backstory deserving of them.

It's as good a year as any, Strix. You've seen that if you can make it through this year, you can make it through anything.
Suela, I'm so sorry.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Yet in four days, it will be a year.
Dang, Strix, that is GREAT!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's wonderful, Strix!
Oof, that tweet.

Good for you Strix

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Congrats, Strix! If you can make it through this year sober, you're all right.
In semi-related news, my niece gave me a jug of small-batch hard cider, knowing I like the stuff. It's 12% alcohol. I almost choked on it. My regular hard cider is 5%! Apparently I'm a super-lightweight now.
Richard Adams and Carrie Fisher and George Michael. Damn it. Four more days to go in this ferocious year. I'm staying up until the ball drops on NYE because I want to watch 2016 leave.
