The Last Word: Art Buchwald
Art Buchwald passed away last week while I was tempting fate at a ski resort in Muju (the attempt was successful and my muscles remind me of that with every move I make).
The New York Times has an interesting obituary concept: The Last Word. In the Last Word, they interview prominent personalities and give them the opportunity to narrate their own obituary.
Some might see it as morbid, however, I think it's a great idea.
I think you'll agree when you see how Art Buchwald starts off his obituary.
Here it is. From the New York Times: The Last Word: Art Buchwald
Rest in peace Mr. Buchwald.
One of my blog crushes, John Mayer also blogged about him, so here is that link too: Art Buchwald
