Another Grain of Sand Passes Through the Hourglass.

Today another childhood icon of mine from the boob-tube era passed on, this one of his own accord. Unlike most, he chose his time and it came as quite a shock to the world. My prayers and condolences are with his family and friends.

Gosh. I had no idea this had happened. But then it's been a work month and I haven't had time to read or watch any news in dayssssss......

Apparently he died about noon. That's when the paramedics arrived at his house and he was pronounced dead. It took 5 hours for the press to finally release the story. I'm guessing because the police needed to do their investigation, so it was 5pm my time (MST) before Facebook lit up with the news.

I had wondered why you were so quiet, I understand about work. I've been busy with work and some personal stress. I'll be able to talk about it after this is all over. Hopefully by Christmas. It's just been a stressful couple of months. I'm trying hard not to let it get to me though.

His death is so heart breaking.

I know what you mean. I've had a bit of heartbreak this past year, but Robin was the real shocker. I just cannot think about him as anything but happy, manic, and full of life. It's hard to think that he won;t be around any longer to bring joy to millions all over the world.

I found out in the evening and I waited till it was time for my Husband to get up to go to work and told him so he did not find out by the news.

My husband got home from work about an hour before it was announced, but since he was writing on his computer instead of watching tv he didn't know a thing about it until I got home from work.

Please do. I have to warn you I do a lot of ranting in my journal as well.
