Sadness.

I found out today that one of my columnists, Roger Hernandez, died this weekend. I am not even sure what happened. He'd had prostate cancer, but had beat it pretty well, last update I had. Amy told me he was having surgery Friday. The notice says he died in the hospital "after a brief illness." I will find out more as the King people do, I'm sure.

Roger was always such a great guy and really good to me. He was born in Havana and immigrated with his family when he was a boy. I learned a lot about Cuba from him.

I'm weak-legged and broken-hearted today.
