Another Media "Star" Passed

[wil]

A contemplation... When 17 kids are removed from life....that makes me sad. When someone who has lived life, made a difference, lived till their 70s, 80s, 90s... whatever It may sadden me as I miss them, if I personally know them. But even then, I am glad for them as having a full life, having all the experiences and lived to a ripe old age. I started feeling this way when I was young...and after turning 50 and 60...I know I've had a great life. I am sad, upset when folks are taken young, when parents are taken when they have kids they are still raising. I know I am not expressing this well, I know I may sound callous, apathetic, or uncaring, but personally if I were to go tomorrow (I have no plans, intentions or wishes)...Don't be sad, know that I have enjoyed life, know that I have enjoyed playing on this big blue ball with my fellow travelers... Let us do all we can so that the young may do so as well.

I do wish he had written one on coincidence, correlation and causation... Also I did not learn adjectives, adverbs and such in school...I learned after I failed out of college on saturday mornings with friday nights hangovers watching cartoons in my 20's...
