Kobe

I haven’t said anything about Kobe, because wtf am I gonna say? The first thing I thought about was Len Bias:

And his death is somehow my own JFK moment - I can still feel myself lolling on my bed that summer day, facing the wall on my left and reading "Ball Four" when the announcement came on the radio. No, he was no JFK, but JFK was no Frosty either.

Kobe dying was gut-wrenching enough. But when you hear about the kids that died too ... 

That’s how short life is. Hug everybody. Right now.
