Two ways of killing a cat

Today, I learned of something I hoped I would never have to know. Actually, it was an acknowledgement of a nagging thought that's been lingering in my mind for quite some time. Today, it was confirmed. And I don't know what's worse, the bad news or the fact that there was nothing to counter it. Oh well.

But I learned of something else too. If you let go of a balloon to grab for air, you end up with a fistful of nothing. Oh well again...
