R.I.P., Sir Edmund Hillary, 1919-2008.


portrait by Edward J Halliday

If you've got it, consider a donation in his memory to the organization he founded, The Himalayan Trust. Humanitarian and environmental work in the Everest region.


I'm sorry about that story, Sir! But at least I didn't slash you!

The minute I heard about him, I instantly thought of that story. Oh, my brain.

To my credit, it wasn't the first thing I thought of. Only the second. (The first: the weird and unshakable Everest obsession G and I grew as one brain last year, which was the cause of that story.)

You didn't? Don't tell him that, he'll feel left out!

Nice portrait!

He will be sorely missed. He was quite a figure.
