“I guess the question I'm asked the most often is: "When you were sitting in that capsule listening to the count-down, how did you feel?" Well, the answer to that one is easy. I felt exactly how you would feel if you were getting ready to launch and knew you were sitting on top of two million parts -- all built by the lowest bidder on a government contract.”

I can't stress enough how much I loved Growing Pains as a kid. He's one of the all time great TV dads IMO and was a master stick man off camera.

 

I'm sad.

I think it happens every year, but as we age we know more and more of the folks.

The most surreal thing for me is watching a movie and realizing that everyone in it is dead.

I was watching Bad Santa a few years ago and it got to one of the scenes with John Ritter and Bernie Mac. Then I realized that both of them were dead.

If she was truly without a pulse for 15 minutes, you would have to think she had tremendous brain damage and it probably would have been a miracle had she recovered.
