Rest in Peace

G.L., the good friend of one of my closest friends, died over the weekend. I'm weirded out. I'd never met him, but had heard stories of B's adventures, trials and tribulations with him. And we were facebook buddies -- of course, friending someone via facebook makes them instant compadres, right?

I'd never met the man. Why does his death leave me so unsettled? Perhaps because there, but for the grace of whatever god(s) there is/are....
