    Death In The Family

    OldWillz died today of cancer. Pain free at last. I've been running about for months sorting stuff out while he was in the hospital, now he's gone. Kept it quiet because it's been cool to have something else to occupy me. Orphan now.

    Assisted Suicides

    Vincent Lambert's life support being ceased from today: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-48307272 Might take a while. I've already had the discussion about my brother on here. Heartbreaking all round.

    I did mean last time Netherlands won, but good spot Biblio. The Hague seems to be the place, but maybe discussions over there are looking for a modern venue? Sleepy Maastricht seems odd.
