A friend of mine died this weekend in a plane crash. Here's a link to the news story.
http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2007/09/17/thai-plane.htmlLarisa was an incredible person and an amazing artist. She was ambitiously pursuing her career as a lighting designer, traveling all over the world working with dance and opera companies. She was taking a side-trip from her latest tour to the Philippines when her plane crashed in Thailand.
I can't believe she's dead. I know it sounds trite, but she will be greatly missed by many, many people.
