einstein died.
who's einstein?
your neighbor? the angry one?
oh him. i never knew his name.
funny. i still had the last note in my phone, einstein in diapers.
ha, i didn't see that. how'd he die?
he didn't die actually. she said he was put down, they put him down.
euphemisms. you hold something, eventually it must be put down. 
life. you hold it as long as you can, then you got to put it down, or you get put down.
anyway he couldn't walk and he was in pain, gnome sane. he was pretty down.
