    Inventor of a basketball efficiency index, blogs about his suicide

    I was initially apprehensive about reading his blog but found it to be both fascinating and slightly disturbing. The cnn article below has a link to his blog.

    Your links don't work for me. The http://<br /> leading of in both links seems extraneous, and the remaining part of the links go nowhere. This link to the blog does work. I find nothing for the other link.

    Thank you for sharing this blog. I really do not even know where to begin, but I particularly disagreed with his opinion of bucket lists. There is so much that I want to do in my lifetime, and, while I understand that I will not do all of it, I think that the purpose of living is to enjoy every day you have. The idea that the years after 60 are worth nothing and that of planning your own death are very disturbing.
