RIP Major Tom. Captain Sir Tom Moore passed from Covid-19 complications. Spring of 2020, he raised $40+mm for UK National Health Service through pledges for his daily walks in his garden. He joined the fundraising campaign on his 100th birthday in March 2020.

Oh my goodness. He was very inspirational. Another loss.

I hadn't heard about the passing of Cloris Leachman. She was a funny woman. RIP

It's sad when anyone dies, but it seems a little sadder when it's someone who always made you laugh. Not enough laughter in the world.

Alas. I learned that The Needle Doctor, Jerry Raskin died on Jan. 3rd this year. For 40 years, he was the guru of hifi analog stereo equipment, building an international internet following in his later years. Everything ran out of the same old brick 'n' mortar location near the University of Minnesota campus.

I did that in my 20’s. Don’t be fooled by the anesthesia.

I told the surgeon I just wanted to do ibuprofen for pain management and she laughed in my face.
