Bourdain / Checking In

It's such a sad thing to happen. There are some people out there. I know of them, I respect them, but I dont really follow them in a sense of fandom. But simply knowing these people are around, living and helping is such a good thing. I never followed Bourdain, but I knew he lived, and that it was good to have him around. It's sad news, when such strong pillars of humanity are shaddered by life. I am devastated. Best wishes to his family, friends, depressed people all over the world, and to you Cliff.

Take care of yourself brother.

This news hit me so hard this morning. Anthony has such a strong influence with my youth. All the connections he made with people and food probably infuenced me to search out stories with strong characters like Stoner or Raymond Carver. He will be missied, i hope his family can recover well. He will not be forgoten.

Sorry to have been the bearer of bad news but as soon as I heard you came to mind. Such a great loss may he Rest In Peace and may those suffering from depression find their way out of the darkness

Thanks for checking in, Cliff. Be well, brother.
