Today is the day that we bury my brother Tom, which is a hard sentence to type. In keeping with my family's tradition of over-long obituaries, and given the scope of his impressive career, we have created a website to post a memorial to Tom, along with some photos. You even get to see a sullen 12 or 13 year old Voltron on the steps of Congress with Tom and then congressman Leon Panetta whom Tom was interning for. Penetta later was director of OMB, White House chief of staff, CIA director and Secretary of Defense.

Obituaries have appeared in AdWeek and other publications, as well as his former agency, but I am not sure which newspapers will run one or even already have run one. For anyone interested here are a few links:

This happened last Friday but I wasn't ready to post about it till now.  One of my cat's, Sam was diagnosed with liver disease in September of last year.  A cause was never determined and the only realistic course of action was to put him on a regiment of various meds and keep him comfortable.  Last week he took a turn for the worse, not moving around as much and no longer able to control his bladder.  He was put down on Friday, it's one of the harder things I've had to do but it was time and he's at peace now.

Sam was 2 months shy of his 7th birthday and his older brother Jax is 15 and still going strong!
