Baen update

[editrx]

No real news from North Carolina: Jim Baen remains in a coma, though we have reports from the hospital staff via Toni and Marla that he is resting comfortably and shows no signs of being in pain. The coma is persistent

Hey, Paul. I haven't seen you here before, though of course I recognize your name from Baen readers -- and from your own posts on the Net in all sorts of places, especially re technology. Yes, it is such a shame. It's sad and awful. The one bright point in it all is knowing the Jim is a man who would never want to grow stupid and drooling and be a "burden" to anyone. He's far too stubborn for that. :-) If one has to go, this ain't a bad way. Going at all is awful, but unfortunately it's a requirement of all life forms that we have to exit at some point in time. I hate it, and rail against it, but there it is.

And this on the heels of losing David Stemple (Jane Yolen's husband) a few short months ago, to cancer. This isn't a good year thus far.

And thank you for signing -- I appreciate it very much. You see, I get wankers on some posts who come anonymously to "hide" behind anonymity, as if that were somehow acceptable behavior when one is being wankerly. Very weird, but very Net-ish behavior among some. I know you've probably endured it, too. If you want to chat about this all, feel free to IM me at some point on AIM (Editrix1) -- I'm usually on during the evenings, and in the AIM "baenbarchat" "room" after 9pm ET.
