I find it impossible to celebrate death. In this case, the "momentous occasion" is the passing of a deeply tortured soul who lived at the mercy of a closed mind.
I'm flying today, so it will be interesting to see if things are any different than usual. Mind you, I'm travelling on short regional flights in Canada, but still.
