Farewell, Professor.

This week is officially fired. 

The thing with Alan Rickman was always that VOICE, like a mouthful of jet black marbles. I was lucky enough to see him on stage in Private Lives, with Lindsay Duncan, and as mesmerizing as it was to watch them slink around each other, big aging cats in silk pajamas, half the time I was just closing my eyes to listen.
