So long, Mike.

I haven't felt like posting to my blog lately. My good friend Mike Berg was in the hospital, and we knew he wouldn't live much longer. He died Sunday morning.

Mike had a serious cancer diagnosis three years ago and he beat the odds to live this long. One of the benefits of my long unemployment was that I got to spend a lot of time with him.

Mike was funny, crusty, super smart, and made me laugh so many times. He got me interested in doing a blog. I guess part of the fun was that I knew Mike would read it.

He leaves his partner Bill, a niece, and many, many friends.
