James "Jimbo" Nelson, supposed author, jazz fan, father of five, connoisseur of Canadian pornography and Thrifty's-brand Double Chocolate Malted Crunch ice cream, passed on to the Greater Higher Hereafter Tuesday evening. He was surrounded by a pile of debt, loads of ideas, two pounds of insight (which he told his friends was closer to a metric ton), a little wherewithal, and even less gumption. His estate is valued at over four dollars and fifty-three cents. It includes a set of engraved shot glasses purchased at a gift shop in Yosemite National Park in 1987, a file folder of divorce papers and property lien notifications, a nearly-consumed fifth of Johnnie Walker Red Label, and a reel-to-reel recording of his eldest daughter's sophomore violin recital. She placed eighth. He was fifty-five.
