Ten years ago tonight, James Nitchals, my best online friend, passed away at the age of 36 from a brain hemorrhage.

Sometimes you really really wish that your problems were like those of the movies. In The Sound of Music, the nuns at Nomberg Abbey are exasperated with Maria for being too frivolous, flighty and frolicsome for the staid, austere, ordered life of the Abbey.
