I am in a state of shock..... the only thing that has prevented me from writing to this date has been the knowlege that Douglas Adams was still out there, riding the cosmos of literary giants; my hero of whom I stood in awe!! And now if I do decide to pick up pen, it will be to display a tribute, as I cry myself to sleep, damp copy of HitchHiker's on my pillow, to dream of Dirk Gently and Zaphod... (sob)
: : It's hard to believe that Adams is really gone. It's
: : harder still to convey its meaning to those who've never heard of him or who've never bothered to look for
: : experience beyond the conventional and ordinary. I can proudly call myself a geek thanks to Douglas Adams, as
