why is being a wizard like being a drow? both are likely to find a dagger in the back from a rival or one looking to further his own goals, fame and power

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

I caught this article on Yahoo news because it contains some info about the memorial, which Ashe was interested in.

"Arneson is survived by Weinhagen and two grandchildren. A public memorial service was planned April 20, from 4 to 8 p.m., at Bradshaw Funeral Home in St. Paul." |

A creator who made many happy memories for those he loved and for millions more he never met. The last chapter on a life well lived comes to an end but the memories remain and what he created will carry his name into legend.

I actually disagree--it's a bit blunt, but it's a realistic observation. Life is finite and in my personal life I hold no illusions that that is not the case.
Like some of the others here I don't really have anything to say. |
"Instead of asking why we sleep, it might make sense to ask why we wake. Perchance we live to dream. From that perspective, the sea of troubles we navigate in the workaday world might be the price we pay for admission to another night in the world of dreams."

Hey Ashe,
Did you ever manage to make it to the funeral?
Just was wondering. |

| Actually, I wasn't able to. Right before the funeral, our company has some layoffs and cut the 'survivors' salaries by 10%, so my trips to the cities have been drastically reduced. Where before I was up there every week, now I have to seriously reflect on how long I can make a tankful of gas last (and save up for the great drive east to Indianapolis and GenCon in a couple of months). |
I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

Ah, bugger. :(
But totally understandable. I was curious because you never posted if you made it. |
