I was really done with the alcohol. I mean, the bottle of Black Muscat on Sunday, the Organic sake on Monday...and I killed the rest of the Noveau Beaujolais from the holidays last night.

TASTY. But.

I now have to get the whiskey...and the damn fruity-as-hell flavored rum down tonight.

Two fine gentlemen have left the building...after very long runs, and their rest is well-deserved.

Patrick McGoohan, who showed EVERYONE how the spy biz is really done, at 80 -

And a dear, sweet neighbor who suffered so many years with the lingering effects of a back injury that eventually put him in a wheelchair at the end. (Didn't know that, did ya?) Lot of years. Lots of cheese. Always a class act - kind, gentle and don't mess.

Richardo Montalban, of course. 88. That's plenty.

Give Freddie our regards, and I'll see you later.

But I'm okay with it. Really - fella had been in declining health for so long, it doesn't bear thinking twice about it.

Not the good kind of aging. I'm good. I'm sure he's having Words with Herve Villechaize right now. And making Majel Barrett laugh again.

oh no, agreed. it just feels like the end of an era. i wouldn't wish that suffering on anyone; not after what my uncle went through near the end of his life.
