Tonight's smoke comes with a heavy heart. Last week my friend and colleague Mark Lenardon was involved in a bad motorcycle accident. We were initially hopeful, but his brain injuries were severe. After much surgery he was declared medically brain dead and was taken off life support yesterday.
He died today. His father was with him. His mother opted not to watch him draw his last breath.
I know it's said often, but our time on earth is so damn short. Make it count. Hug your loved ones, and make new friends.
