R.I.P.

It is with the deepest regret that I write to inform you that on the morning of September 13, 2009, "Jiminy", a friendly, music-loving Chinese cricket, passed away in a tragic shower accident. Affectionately called "Choo-choo" by those close to him, he overcame initial prejudices to become a treasured roommate and friend. Not a morning went by that he did not greet with with a cheerful song and upbeat attitude. He will be missed.
