I'm in a somewhat better mood today.

Still recovering of course,from all of this and also a slight head cold. This year puts me in mind of 1998. A lot of famous individuals left us that year too. Roy Rogers,Gene Autry,Shari Lewis,Flip Wilson,Esther Rolle,Mary Frann (JoAnna on Newhart) and Frank Sinatra. (Just to name but a few.) It's strange,that year didn't have the same affect on me that this year has. Maybe with Ritter's sudden departure it made it impossible to just let it roll off my shoulders. Not that I was ever indifferent about it,but this time was just somehow, different. Later!
