The write-ups I wanted to do for Avidguru's (Nick's) final months & funeral were too long to do on twitter. So, here are links to them: https://t.co/Um8oXm5lzN and https://t.co/rL9ZDPjs0Y

If you'd like to specifically contribute to something financially, I have the following suggestions. -- You could send us money to stash to use for special treats for us. (I don't use paypal etc, so it would need to be cash or check, contact me for address) #AvidCancer 7/

If you want to raise a specific toast to Nick, choose a good dark beer or coffee. #AvidCancer 6/

play with your kids or grandkids. It's not the specific activity that matters, just the spending time with people you care about. (And obviously it can be much harder right now because of the pandemic isolation, so maybe you'll have to do it later.) #AvidCancer 5/

First and foremost -- spend time with your friends and family, doing whatever you like best. You don't have to tell anyone else the reason behind your gathering, but play a game (or lots of games!), tell stories, build a campfire, share a meal, go for a walk, #AvidCancer 4/

Several people have asked about ways to honor Nick's memory (thinking charitable donation). I have the following suggestions. #AvidCancer 3/

The girls and I are very tired, and we miss Nick (Papa); but we're surprisingly peaceful. I was so thoroughly loved by Nick while he was alive that everything that sparks memories of him reminds me of how much he loved me and the girls. #AvidCancer 2/

We had a wonderful, beautiful, love-filled funeral for Nick on Monday, Sept 21. At some point in the next few weeks I will probably write up a bit of something about Nick's last few weeks and the funeral, for those of you who couldn't make it. #AvidCancer 1/

Nick Edgar, online name Avidguru, died this afternoon, Sept 19. He lived with cancer for almost 4 years. I'm glad he no longer has to struggle to breathe. This is his wife (Wendy) posting on his account. You can contact me directly at nixter@earthlink.net #AvidCancer

@JeffKurtenacker @Avidguru @Pappylicious i just got a chance to finally listen to this and wow....amazing as always Jeff. I really like the subtle nod to the WildStar Main Theme at the end as well. Beautiful piece for a beautiful person.

@RepAdamSchiff Congress determines the size of the Supreme Court. The Judiciary Act of 1789 set it at 6. 1807: Raised to 7 1837: Amended to 9 1863: 10 1866: 7 1869: 9. If McConnell replaces RBG, Congress (with a simple majority) & Pres Biden can expand the Supreme Court with ample precedent.

This. This right here needs to be talked about for longer than I am alive.
