You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

He was a Harvard educated medical doctor...a staunch global warming denier whose "State of Fear" documented many of the foibles of the greenies with solid science...and a man for all seasons. All 6 foot 9 inches of him will be greatly missed...a giant of a man!

I forgot about "State of Fear," I really liked that book. I also liked ER, even that nurse turned doctor who had sex with every male doctor on the show.
