Yeah, sorry you had to go through all of that, but I'm glad it's over.
I forgot to mention that I'll be driving this, and the next 2 weekends on "vacation".

Funny how that works. The driver has to work through the time meant to get away from work.

Yeah, though I've nailed the 12 hours of actual work I had to do in the 1st 2 work days of vacation, so at least that's over.

He was to video games what Jimi Hendrix was to rock. Not somebody I particularly revered, but deeply respect for the contribution his life has made to his craft. A craft I continue to enjoy.

I get how you mean, respect from afar.

such is honest. I cannot claim I was a fan of the man, or a fervent fan of his work. And yet, I can respect his contributions to the franchise. His face was known, as was his general presence. Perhaps that is far more telling than a fan would be. Even a pleb like me knows him, meaning he had fame beyond his little circle of business.

True, somebody's overall impact should not be measured by fandom alone but also by the familiarity of those outside of it.

Then rest, good sir. I will be feeling that pinch soon. In two days, I will be travelling for a "weekend" in New York City. We arrive on the 21st, spend the 22nd and 23rd there, then return on the 24th.
