"Once proud and full of passion,
He fought the Cause of Man,
Many people loved his courage,
Many followed his command

He changed the old into the new,
And the course of things to come
And then one day they noticed
he was gone...

I heard the king was dying,
I heard the king was dead
And with him died the chronicles
That no one ever read..."
--Kerry Livgren, Kansas Closet Chronicles

Enjoy sharing your eternal torment with your old boss, Colson. You richly deserve it.
