Pneumonia -- goddamned pneumonia -- has claimed the life of a third friend of mine. It happens so fast and just kills people I love. If you have an extended bout of flu, chest pain, trouble breathing, please for gods' sake go get it checked out, x-rayed, and be careful.
My friend Greg was a funny, smart awesome guy. Until Saturday. The Universe is so unfair. My heartfelt condolences go out to his wife, Frankie, and all his family. They live a few blocks from us, so I'm going to bring her some food and this picture, one of the few I have of him.

Greg and Bailey at Soda, 2006
I'm so sorry for this loss.
