Haven’t blogged in a while because I’ve been busy planning another trip, one I almost reconsidered. But got a reminder today that you gotta live while you’re here.
Remember the two posts (first here, second here) about the insanely hard European Quizzing Championships? Where I grumbled happily about the Belgians and their otherworldly abilities?
Just found out that one of these Belgians has left us.
I only met him briefly, casually hanging out the same evening I took this picture of the full Belgian Armada, but he seemed like a very gentle and clearly brilliant fellow. Several of the people I met and liked very much at the tournament knew him well and are greatly saddened. I am sorry for their loss.
Life is so fucking short. Sure would be nice if it weren’t. But it is.
Gonna go catch that plane now. Dammit.
