Man, it makes me thankful that most of my friends and family made it through routine procedures.  I have lost two acquaintances while they went through common heart procedures.   So you never take it for granted.

Yeah, I have a friend whose dad just went in for a colonoscopy, and he had a reaction to the anesthetic that they gave him.

KETV is saddened to hear about the passing of Matt Kelly, a former sports producer, photographer, and anchor for the station.

 

Kelly died at his home in Las Vegas on Friday morning after recently being moved to hospice care. He had just celebrated his 54th birthday on Sunday.

Quincy Jones is done at 91

We're gonna try this again. The name isn't household, but the song is.  Mike Pinera of Blues Image and Iron Butterfly fame has passed.  He wrote and sang lead on Ride Captain Ride. He's performing here with Peter Rivera of Rare Earth, Jerry Corbetta of Sugarloaf and Dennis Noda of Cannibal and the Headhunters.  Great tune!  RIP!

Heartbreaking. I saw Jack Hoffman has multiple tumors again as well.

A younger version of me would have posted this clip from the Simpsons

 

But, thankfully, I've matured and would no longer do such a thing.

I once heard this said of President Carter - he is (was) a great man, unfortunately, he was not a great President.

Cancer sucks man

What a tough young man...prayers to the family and may Jack and his dad rest in peace!

Saddened to hear about Jack. Hope he’s reunited with his dad. Heartbroken for Jack’s mom, who also lost her husband. Life isn’t easy, but this seems egregiously unfair…

Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet are near the top of my favorite television and movie lists. Another sad day indeed.

He'll now have "front row" to every baseball game.
