Most of the scoresheets and 9-Ball scores have made their way in, so I was able to get an early start on updating the website through week 3. Please have a look, and let me know if everything is computing properly.
A brief requiem:
By now I am guessing that most everyone in Bangkok has learned of the sudden and untimely death of Peder. He was 46 years old. His death was confirmed by autopsy as being a massive heart attack caused by a blood clot. It was quick and he did not suffer. All of Bangkok, the nightlife scene, the Bangkok Pool League, and I personally have lost a good friend. None will be quite the same without Peder, who touched virtually all of us with his very unique style. His ability to transform complete strangers into "buddies" will sorely be missed. His talent for exasperating people while at the same time endearing himself to them never ceased to fascinate me. He had a certain magic that would consistently turn a pool match into a party. He was an engaging, larger-then-life character who drew people out and made it impossible for them to sit on the sidelines. He could turn almost any event into a party, and I envied him that. Being around him was never boring. He had a way of making it all fun, and he will be sorely missed. I wish him the peace in death that sometimes eluded him in life, but for those of us now fated to go on without him there will be a void that will be impossible to fill. He will not soon be forgotten. Chok Dee Krop, Khun Peder.
