O Captain, My Captain...


Since the beginning of this year, the world has lost many celebrities and entertainers, and the world is a poorer place for it.

Dear readers, I, like many others, was stunned at the death of Robin Williams from an apparent suicide, that is true, but his was not the first death this year nor will he be the last.  Unfortunately, Williams seems to be all the news agencies can talk about.

As of today's date, 27 celebrity deaths have occurred since January 1st.
