Wow! It's just one hit after another.

I'm gonna pull the blankets over my head and hope the Grim Reaper will sate his thirst very soon ... so sad. :( :(

I can't seem to find find any substantial news blurbs about Allen Klein..........weird. R.I.P. Alan.

This is about it except for Reuters. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8134795.stm

Another one that shocked me is former NFL-quarterback Steve McNair's death under odd circumstances:

I was in Nashville when it happened, staying near that area, and it was quite the shock to the city. The celebrations for the Fourth were already in progress and then that broke...it was odd to be in a city that was affected like that.

And Miss Brahms (Wendy Richards), also known as Pauline Fowler to EastEnders fans, passed on in February. Her Heritage Foundation placque was unvelied a month ago today:

A goodly percentage of the EastEnders' original cast (1983) has passed on in recent years. Tuning in these days, after a long absence on my part, is like moving into a strange neighborhood.
