Until we can figure out the blogosphere equivalent of dimming the lights on Broadway, we will settle for doffing our caps to note this lamentable passing. Here's hoping he finds retirement entirely uncongenial and returns soon. Until that time, we promise to keep the third person alive and well (and to keep drinking heavily) in his honor.
Hopefully he'll discover, as did Michael Jordan, that even playing 36 holes of golf a day doesn't effectively scratch the itch--and then come scurrying back to the fold.

This is going to hurt. Ronan Bennett of the Booker shortlist, Kerry fighting with one hand behind his back and now no TMFTML? Damn, Mark you're still having fun, right?

He shall return. They always do.
