So long, blue eyes...

I've just read about the passing of Paul Newman. It comes to no surprise considering his health condition and age, but very much remains a sad news. He's had a long, and I believe happy life all things considered, and leaves us with an heritage that needs no description.

So long, blue eyes. Say hi to Steve for me.

What a year...

Yeah, he was expected to pass... Lasted a lot longer than some predicted he would though... But all the same it's been a crummy year...

I think it's actually been a pretty nice year.

For you, maybe. But I'm referencing to the year 2008 as a year for losing famous entertainers. And in that regards, well, it's been pretty bleak.

Are the two related?

Carry on.

And to think, we still have 3 months left to the year...

I wonder how many Entertainers, that are over the age of 65-70, are sitting home with their fingers crossed and curled up in the fetus position, praying to make it through the next 3 months...

Age of course doesn't have to be a factor in Death, but after a certain age things like organs can stop for no apparent reason, just because they are worn out...
I certainly hope we don't lose anymore for awhile... We've lost way too many this year as it is...

That we have. Let's hope it's a quiet winter.

I'm hoping for a Fierce Winter myself, I love the Snow... Nothing like volunteering to help take people work {like medical personnel, etc} and showing up at their door on a Snowmobile, the look on their face is Priceless...

I just want it to be a "Living" Winter... :mrgreen:

Also, I loved Newman. Always will.

It is a sad year indeed, Newman was amongst the classics.

It's kind of reminding me of 1997 where we had a lot of famous people passing on in that year too, very very famous too. Michael Hutchance, Princess Diana, John Denver and I think that was the year of the Port Arthur Massacre too.
