Like other bloggers, in the early years, I was in regular contact with Jim. A few years ago, I know he had been considering going to law school. He had been admitted but wasn't sure it was the right thing for him.
Just the other night I checked his blog and saw that he hadn't posted since March. But, long absences weren't unusual for him, so I didn't think of contacting him.
He leaves behind his beloved bulldog Mildred, about whom he wrote frequently.
R.I.P. Jim, you were a blogosphere original and a great talent. Thank you for your friendship. You will be missed.
