dionne warwick: existentialst

as many of you know, i use gmail for web e-mail. it has its limitations, but the spam monsters haven’t found out about that particular account yet, unlike its hotmail and yahoo mail counterparts.

anyways.

one of the “features” is the ability to select what headline link categories you want to RSS across the top of your inbox. one of my selections is “quote of the day,” because i’m, so, into inspirational stuff. today’s?

Dionne Warwick: “I treat others exactly the way I want to be treated.”

for real? thanks. color me inspired.

RIP, CNR

Tony Award winner, and long time SP favorite Charles Nelson Reilly passed over the long weekend of complications from pneumonia. He was 76.

Seriously, a Tony Award? I did not know that. I guess I’m not surprised, but see how you learn something new every day? In any case, Chuck has been a favorite around here since the start. You see, he was given a prominent mention in the very first SP post.

The rest of his details can be absorbed via any of the obits, including the one I linked above. But I will add one thing: Next March the 6th, the party’s at my place, and you’re all invited. RIP Mr. Reilly, we’ll miss you.
