I just found out that Kirby Puckett died. He was one of my favorite players before glaucoma ended his baseball career. How sad, he was only 44 years old. I'm sure it's a blessing for him, he had a massive stroke yesterday and who knows how that would have affected him.

said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm
just not close enough to get the job done.

Man, 44 sure is young, he did burn bright though! Bill

I don't mean that to sound crass. I think maybe when famous people die, maybe it forces us to stop and take a look at our own mortality and we get all sad.

No I hadn't heard about that. How sad, now their child has lost both parents in such a short time. She was only 44 too.

Hey, this is wat I wanted too - except for the tumbling. But, now that you mention it, I could go for that too. But since the grit will get dumped eventually, I think I will still try to think of a good place for the scattering. (lol)

Then you can scatter my ashes in the Valle Vidal. ;D S

I tend to find that stuff revolting (but then, I don't like beer).

It can all turn to crap so quickly. Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.
