I’m sure ‘Meet The Scout Rocks’, but I haven’t seen it yet.
Everyone has been asking why I haven’t posted the meet the scout vid yet.
Well, I had a bit of a family thing at the last minute - my Grandad died. He was 80, and a great guy. He had lived a good life, was mentally and physically sound, but he was old and that wouldn’t have lasted much longer. It was just his time. He went out quickly and with his dignity with a sudden heart attack. Everyone thought that was much better than slowly decaying over the next decade or so and causing pain for him and the family. He was much loved and there must have been at least 400 people at the funeral.
So I had to book a last minute flight back home to see him off, and now I’m staying with relatives in non-broadband land. This is about the first time I’ve been online.
Apparently Valve has spies watching me, and knows that the only time they can get away with big news releases is when I’m not around to poke fun at them, cause as soon as I was under internet radio silence, they pumped out the Latest Meet The Team Vid:
So until I get somewhere that transfers faster than 3kb/s, I won’t be watching it for a while. But it’s Valve, so I’m sure it’s all good.

Sorry to hear about your Grandad man. Sucks to lose people in your family.
Thanks for posting this though. Pretty funny.

My gran went out pretty much the same way. It’s sad that she’s gone, but it was better in many ways than to have seen her get ground down slowly by mental illness. As it was, she went before she started to fade out, and that’s just how she wanted it.
So, my sympathies. It’s good that you’re with relatives, that’s the right place to be right now.

Wow… I’m really sorry to hear about that.
At times like this, one always wants to say something that will wipe away all the pain and will provide full comfort. And yet words aren’t going to do that.
So try to take comfort in the fact that the thoughts and prayers of your fellow CP community members are with you. And I hope you can revel in the memories of the time you spent together and in the memories you have.

Life sucks sometimes. Keep your head high.
