On a more serious note

This is definitely not for everyone (as a matter of fact, it may not be for anyone), but this past Sunday's New York Times Magazine had an in-depth article about dying and hospice care. It was almost spooky how familiar much of it sounded after going through it with Gretchen's mom and family last year (although she hasn't yet read it and might think I'm crazy for even suggesting that). Anyway, if you're interested in something a bit heavier than my usual mindless banter, I recommend giving it a read.
