And so it goes.

In Slaughter House Five, I believe, Kurt Vonnegut writes "And so it goes" every time a character dies.

Yesterday, Vonnegut died at 84, despite a life long smoking habit. He succumbed to injuries sustained in a fall, according to reports.

I've read several of his books, which are all interesting and worth the read. His particular style is unique, and I'm not sure that we'll see another author in the same vein: One who's satirical, and funny, yet rather than writing tomes like some other authors out there, writes little books, sometimes illustrated with a few drawings by the author.

And so it goes.
