Kurt Vonnegut dead at 84



I read in an introduction he'd written to one of his novels about how once someone had asked him what he was doing while he was smoking in a bar. He'd said he was committing suicide by cigarette, and decided to quit smoking. For some reason, I keep thinking about that story, hearing about his death. I guess he decided he might as well live. 84 years is a long road to wander.
