I was sad to learn about Goulet's condition from your post, Char. He did those weird commercials for Emerald Nuts for this year's Super Bowl (when your attention lags in mid-afternoon, Robert Goulet sneaks into your office and steals your stuff ... so eat Em. nuts.)

My grandmother loved his voice, so I knew of him primarily through Flo Uffelman's music choices. He was wonderful in Camelot, which had his best performances until his cameo on "The Simpsons", singing "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells" when booked into Bart's treehouse casino. LOL

He's hospitalized in a Los Angeles hospital right now. Can you imagine how rough it must be awaiting a lung tranplant with the air quality so impaired in the midst of all those forest fires? I know he'll be on oxygen, and the fires in LA county are under control now, but just knowing all that smoke is in the air must be scary.

In an unrelated event, my mom flies to LA tomorrow to visit my brother and his wife, who now live in Pasadena overlooking the Rose Bowl, and to attend the funeral of the son of a close friend who also lost her husband two months ago. Losing a husband (he was a Holocaust survivor, died of old age) and a son (age 53, brain cancer) within 2 months -- now that's a bad year.
