Heath Ledger has died: [link]
The actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in an apartment building at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, according to the New York City police. Mr. Ledger was 28.
At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, the police said. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Mr. Ledger’s bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger unconscious. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The police said they did not suspect foul play and said they found pills near body.

My friend just emailed me that news.
Christ, I'm older than Heath Ledger?
ETA: Not to make it all about me, it's just -- Brad Renfro was only 25 and Heath was 28, and it's freaking me out a little.
I have heard of "scent-free workplaces" but I don't know how they work. I've also heard that Santa Cruz has an ordinance that prohibits discriminating against someone based on smell, but I don't know how that works either.

So sad. I feel for Michelle Williams and baby.
I'm really shocked and sad about Heath Ledger. As are all of my coworkers. Poor Matilda.
Poor Matilda.
I did a double-take on that one.
Teppy, thanks for the ideas re: coffee beans, ionic breeze, etc. There's actually an Ionic Pro here in the office no one has been using. I think I'll trot it out and see how it does. (The chaplain is out with a patient, so I can turn it on without being conspicuous about why.)
