Iraq War, Obituaries, Things That Suck No Comments »

Colorado blogger Major Andrew Olmsted was killed in Iraq yesterday. A testimonial, his final words (left in the event of his death), and a moving memorial/comments thread at Obsidian Wings. His last post for the Rocky Mountain News is here.

RIP Major Olmsted.

Dan Fogelberg has died of prostate cancer at the age of 56.

It’s been many years since I listened to Dan’s music, but there was a time in my life when I enjoyed it very much. (I never stopped liking it, but he had such a long dry period that I just stopped.) He will be missed.

Get screened, kids.
