Facebook For Death Announcements = Odd

My afternoon got a little turned around this afternoon, when I learned of the death of a traveling friend via Facebook. Apparently he washed up on a beach in Columbia, drowned. It was just really, really sad and weird, and it's left me in a strange mood. Not even the Wolf Pack stills (which are amazing, more on them later when I'm better) can distract me. Pardon some silence . . .it seems I need to check on a few people I've not heard from for a while to make sure they're still okay.
