I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

Rest in peace, Desmond Tutu.

Sad news indeed, Desmond Tutu was an iconic South African and was one of those people who played a role in ensuring SA got to its first Democratic election in 1994 without a civil war or collapsed economy. Very consistent through the years 

RIP Desmond Tutu

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

You just kind of expected to see Betty White facing off against Keith Richards in the end of days.

i wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life

another way to look at is is that she made it to 99 and looked like she were enjoying life far more than most folks we know in their mid 80s... and some in their 70s. from our pov she won, as much as anybody can win.

HA! Good Fun!

Yeah. I guess, in a sense, at least we can also attribute it to 2021 instead of the new year, which would've been a terrible way to start 2022. She was seven years Anne Frank's and Martin Luther King Jr.'s senior...man, that's old. To have your full mental faculties during that entire time and then die peacefully in your sleep one day near your 100th birthday...better than any of us can hope to expect, that's for sure.

Yeah, it's a real shame. I can't think of anything she was in that I disliked and from all accounts she was a very pleasant person. I guess Lake Placid is something fun to (re)watch.

I'd like to say I think 2022 will be better, but I'd be lying to myself.

Bob Saget. That came out of nowhere...as they tend to do, I suppose.

And here I was just thinking about the Gilbert Gottfried's Bob Saget joke. What a horrible coincidence.
