"Robert Sheckley died Friday, Dec. 9, 2005, in a Poughkeepsie, N.Y.,
hospital,
28 days after he was stricken with a brain aneurysm. In recent days, he went
into a coma from which he never awakened. He was 77."

So long, Bob, and thanks for letting us ride along, all over
all those universes.

From "Dimension of Miracles":

**********************

"You've been away? I guess that's why I haven't seen you
around here for these last several months."
"That must be it," Carmody said.
"Where have you been?" Marundi asked.
It was on the tip of Carmody's tongue to say that
he had been in Miami. But instead he was inspired to
say, "I have been out in the Universe, the Cosmos
itself, wherein I have passed through certain selected
short subjects which shall henceforth be known as
reality."
Marundi nodded with understanding. "You been on a
Trip, yes, man?"
"Indeed I have."
"And on that Trip you have perceived the molecular
all-in-oneness of all things and have listened to the
energies of your body, nicht wahr?"
"Not exactly," Carmody said. "Upon my particular
Trip, I observed most particularly the discretionary
energies of other creations and went beyond the
personal-molecular into the external-atomic. That is
to say, my Trip convinced me of the reality, to say
nothing of the existence, of creatures other than
myself."
