Oh my. Ridley is probably going to be pretty upset.

I don't think upset is the word one uses to describe the loss of a brother.

Semantics. I tend to use more restrained words for things; others go overboard; it's all part of the panoply. In any case, my condolences to Ridley and family.

I figured. But there's a time and a place, you know? People's grief at something like this is usually one of those times where you can't go overboard if you tried.

That being said, I understand where you're coming from. I've recently discovered I prefer the use of the word "decent" instead of "awesome".

It may also in part be because of several recent deaths in my family.

Lost one of the old school comedians, Phyllis Diller. I met her a few years ago. She was very gracious.

No, Sam. He was a hero to all of us.

One small step for Neil, one giant leap for his Soul... Such a shame to lose people who have made such a mark... He'll be forever remembered though, no doubt there...

I'll always remember Neil. I was born on that eventful day, July 20, 1969.

So, did your father watch the landing or you being born, or did your parents do both, together? :D

The actor Michael Clarke Duncan found his peace today. I really liked this guy, and just read an article not too long ago about somebody saving his life went he had a heart attack. :-(

Very sad indeed! Great character actor and a cool guy.

BTW, I was holding our firstborn son (13 days old) when Armstrong landed on the moon. I have a Polaroid (remember those) photo of it. Great moment in scientific achievement.
