Christopher Hitchens died

Oh I am going to miss his writing (and talk) so very much.

There are very few people who can get me laughing till my sides hurt, and flipped over into a red hot fury, all within a few sentences. He was such a person. I passionately agreed and disagreed with him on many issues. He had an amazing talent to use words as precision instruments and was the only person ever who had me yelling at the written word in a book or on a computer screen. Clever, acerbic, witty, sharp as a razor funny, infuriatingly intelligent man.

His was a life well lived, top to bottom. I'm thankful he shared some of that with the world.
