I apologize for my lack of contributions these last few days. I have tried to post several times, but it is hard when your usual mode is an aggravated state of irreverence, and the number one thing on your mind is something you feel very reverent about.
On Sunday night, the leader of our church passed away. If you haven't caught on before that I'm a Mormon, then this probably will clue you in.
I didn't know him personally, but I don't know that I've ever admired or respected anyone more than him. He was an enormous influence on me personally. (No, really.... I was even more irreverent and obnoxious before.) Anyway, I have contemplated about a hundred really beautiful tributes to Gordon B. Hinckley, but in the end, I couldn't come up with anything that began to do the man justice.
So, I'm just going to say... what an awesome human being. I'm glad he was here. I'm sorry he's gone. I hope I get to talk to him one day.
