I am beyond sad to learn about the passing of Danny Boyd. He was beyond supportive of my writing and I will always treasure going to an SF Giants game the last time he visited San Francisco. I just talked to him a month ago and looked forward to his next trip to California. RIP Professor Danny.

Yesterday, the copy was coming to me. It was in my head--one idea after another--but I didn't write it down. And now that I've sat down to write it, I'm just staring at the computer screen.
