Friday, June 17, 2005 Move Through The Room This obituary in the Times is somewhat unusual. A rather lonely less than ordinary ambulance driver's life pared down to its barest of essentials in a column no bigger than a Teatro ZinZanni ad. You want to feel sorry for the guy except for his co-worker's insistence that he lived life the way he wanted to. But then you come to a paragraph like this: "He was a super great employee," said [his former employer]. "For his own personal life, he had nothing. His only vice was on pay day he'd blow all his money on women." Wha-huh? What kinda guy is this? Some loner who lives above the workplace and has a soft spot for prostitutes? A curious addition to an obituary, but it's not the strangest one I've ever read. Nothing will ever top Gregory Hemingway's posted by ben | 1:59 PM |
