You're being very un-Dude, Dude.

I'm still feeling a lot of anger today, to the point where I nearly threw a coffee mug at a colleague's head for the bullshit ribbing we give each other everyday. Until then, I thought my meditation sessions were going well.

A friend's father died suddenly yesterday. We just heard this morning, and it tore through our network like wildfire. As if that weren't tragic enough, he died the day after she had buried her aunt.

On a much, much happier note, Rob (from I See Hawks) and Katie had their first child; a beautiful little girl named Zola Katherine. She was born last Thursday. I guess bad news travels faster.

I remember being a lot happier when the only death I worried about was my own.
