Kurt Vonnegut 1922-2007

The amazing, avuncular writer of Slaughterhouse-Five, Breakfast of Champions, and Cat's Cradle has died at the age of 84.
The world views, pompous pontifications, creative ephemera, and feverish rantings of a cynical optimist, writer guy, and semi-jaded resident of "America's finest city" (well, at least that's what our Chamber of Commerce tells us...we have our doubts but we've found it's best to keep them to ourselves.)
I was born in a crossfire hurricane and I howled at my ma in the pouring rain. But it's all right now, in fact it's a gas! Or something like that. In my time I've done a bunch of stuff, met some good folks, loved and lost and loved again, been a few interesting places, and am now a cynical optimist (or optimistic cynic, after all this time I'm still never exactly sure which I am at any given moment) living in sunny Southern California.
