    Unfortunately the best astronomer and one of the smartest guys I know died last summer before I picked this up as a hobby. Life is strange. Take advantage of having your family and friends around while they still are. Don’t be afraid to reach out. Life is too short. And now he is inaccessible to us. Along with his encyclopedic knowledge. And his kids’ dad. And his mother’s son. And his siblings’ brother.
