About Me
- Name: LA
- Location: Southern California
I often find myself going through life, shaking my head in disbelief at what I see. And then sometimes I am awed by something so stunningly beautiful that I'm breathless. I hope to document both here.

He had stong ties to Massachusetts, including being the first person to open a SAAB dealership here. He was a pretty cool guy.
Very sad. I really like Slaughterhouse Five. He was a great talent. His son Mark wrote a pretty cool memoir too.
I read all the Vonnegut I could get my hands on when I was in HS - to this day, for me, Slaughterhouse Five remains the consummate book on the futility and waste of war
LA, David Brancaccio did one of the last interviews of Kurt and it's online:

Flix - I really enjoyed that, thanks for the link.
He was simply a great man. Bums me out too LA.
Silly me thought Slaughterhouse-Five was a horror story ala Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Now I know better and added it to my reading list. Rest in peace Sweet Prince.
Great american writer. I'll see him in purgatory.
