On this day in 1961, Ernest Hemingway shuffled off this mortal coil in Ketchum, Idaho. Here's a few from the vaults:
Hooching with Hemingway
From some young chap named Frank Kelly Rich
For Whom the Booze Tolls
The Passionate Affair Between Alcohol And Ernest Hemingway: The Paris Years
And in bonus non-MDM content:
A letter from Hemingway to F. Scott Fitzgerald, May 1934
So, if you're feeling kind, raise a glass or several to the old man today.

I wish I could write like Papa,
I'm just not able
But if I had him in this bar right now
I'd drink him under the table.
