April 15th! for some reason I was thinking September.  But April 15th
is thematically suitable.

However, I think I might try and read The Kindly Ones before TPK...I
have TKO out of the library but wanted to read the rest of the smaller
novels I have lying around before starting that...


so his meds no longer worked for him and he went back to the same
doctor, shoot, he had enough money he could have had every alternative
therapy I've ever dreamed about trying...he could have had an orgone
accumulator custom built, had high colonics, craniosacral, primal
scream, lymph drainage therapy, chakra balancing, orthomolecular,
homeopathy, yoga lessons -- they would have either worked or he could
have written funny, perceptive stuff about them, either way I bet
something would've helped

instead he dug into the tax code for material (real cheerful stuff)
and had doctor-loyalty...

man he should have at least gotten a b12 shot, I hear those are invigorating!
or even just a bike ride

good writer, though...looking forward to TPK...RIP DFW
