RIP, Hitch

So, Christopher Hitchens is dead. He has left Tumortown and passed beyond the Land of Malady, after leaving us with some last words of advice on dealing with mortal illness.

I’ll miss his voice and his writings. We now have all that we are going to have from him.

I can’t resist adding his widely-quoted words of wisdom:

“The four most over-rated things in life are champagne, lobster, anal sex and picnics.”

Like Christopher Hitchens, I’ve enjoyed them all. Over-rated? Possibly. Enjoyable? Certainly.

RIP, Hitch.
