Hey, that's MY subject line.

Oh well, we can all share. :(

[mairzydotes.livejournal.com]

Well, he was 90.

[ericcoleman]

I read it in your LJ, followed the link, came back and posted about it here, then went back to read my friend's list again and saw your's and went "Wait, that seems awful familiar"

You must have had some odd subliminal influence on me.

Mwahaha.

Did you get the LOLbible link from me too? 'Cause in that case, could you please go scrub out the bathtub and make me a cup of tea? :)

[ericcoleman]

I'm stealing a lot from you today ... odd too, we went to two of the same schools ...

[ericcoleman]

Thank you ... that makes it so much easier

[ericcoleman]

No ... I'm only doing the things that you DO ... not what needs to be done.

There's still time! The date of death is March 19th 2008 because he lived close to the Eastern edge of the International Date Line.

There's still a few more hours.

Well, I took both those links from other people, so it's all part of the great LJ sharing!

My dad was a big ACC fan (also Asimov and Bradbury), so he's part of my history - I can't remember how old I was when I read Childhood's End.

Yer a strange person ...

The Deep Range is one of my all time favorite books ...

my elder brother has talked to Bradbury at some length on the phone, it was a hour+ conversation wherein Bradbury told my brother why he didn't have time to do an interview ... but I digress ...

Have I ever met you in person ??? We only have one friend in common, which is unusual.

I think Maude said it best:

"I mean, seventy-five is too early but at eighty-five, well, you're just marking time and you may as well look over the horizon."

Damn. On YouTube, there is a video of him talking about his 90th birthday. Sorry, I don't have the link handy, if I can find it I will post it.

[bammba-m.livejournal.com]

that's a bummer.

[mle292.livejournal.com]

Thanks Mr. Kettle.

I don't know of anything brilliant to say in such matters.

I am sorry to hear the news. It is a loss.

[kivasfajo.livejournal.com]

Damn is Right.

[ericcoleman]

Thanks Mr. Kettle.

No ... Coleman ... COLEMAN ...

geeze ... everyone gets that wrong ...

[pisica.livejournal.com]

I sincerely doubt we've met in person. Must have been a drive-by friending!

[ericcoleman]

I didn't think so ... but I meet so many people ...
