And last, I have to post a small tribute to Adam Yauch, aka MCA of The Beastie Boys. He died of cancer last week at the very young age of 47. There isn't a time of my life that wasn't touched somehow by The Beastie Boys, and I imagine that so many people of my generation feel the same way. There is something amazing to be said for having a voice that brought so much joy to so many people. His was a life very well lived.
Who's your (little) buddy?
