Things often don't turn out as planned.  

Not long after writing this post, I got a call from Lon Safko, sharing the sad news that our friend Steven Groves had lost his oldest son to a drug overdose.  Lon and I spent a portion of the day with Steve and his family while Francine Hardaway rallied the SM troops and set up a Chip-in site to help with funeral expenses.  

Steve is always there to help others when they call.  Now it's our turn.  For more information visit  ~ http://digg.com/u14HUA
