I had promised to interview someone for my blog soon. He was a person with small resources but big hopes and dreams. I was going to feature him under a site entitled "Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things".  I had been so busy, I kept putting off the interview even though he kept calling to remind me to do it. Then he unexpectedly died a few days ago. What a bummer! Now, I'll never know what he wanted to say in his interview. My lesson for life on this is to always be careful about what you are too busy to do... I will try to find some records of his works and maybe some pictures from his family or friends and still honor him with a posthumous article. What's your thoughts?

  1. Wow, I've never had a potential guest die before his post or interview. (Sadly I've had one die afterwards though.)

  2. Oh! I had something similar happen when I used to do excerpts on Thursdays. I'd scheduled a post and then send the author an email to remind him. His wife replied, telling me he'd died a few weeks earlier. It was really sad.

  3. Yes, hopefully my followup article can do him justice.

  4. Another example of "never put off...".
