      • We had rented out the entire restaurant for our wedding reception. It was a fairly nice French restaurant run by a French Canadian. It turned out that Brian Mulroney had relatives in the area and his family really liked the restaurant. On the day of the wedding we show up and Brian Mulroney and his family are eating in a side room that was supposed to be where we stored our presents, coats, etc.

      • Paul Alexander: 'Man in the iron lung' dies at the age of 78

        The polio survivor known as "the man in the iron lung" has died at the age of 78.
        Paul Alexander contracted polio in 1952 when he was six, leaving him paralysed from the neck down.

        The disease left him unable to breathe independently, leading doctors to place him in the metal cylinder, where he would spend the rest of his life.​
        Paul Alexander worked as a lawyer and lived for decades in a metal cylinder which breathed for him.

              Count Floyd is dead. But does a vampire ever die?

          • The man who discovered the God Particle is Dead!

            Physicist Peter Higgs, whose theory of an undetected particle in the universe changed science and was vindicated by a Nobel prize-winning discovery half a century later, has died aged 94, the University of Edinburgh said on Tuesday.

            • Who had OJ in the dead pool?

              O.J. Simpson, the former NFL star and broadcaster whose athletic achievements and fame were eclipsed by his 1995 acquittal in the brutal killings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman, has died of cancer, his family announced Thursday on X. He was 76.

              • Great guitarist and a great songwriter (he also wrote "Jessica"). Got to see him live a couple times; he and Duane playing together was a transcendent experience. May he RIP.

                Dickey Betts -- the longtime guitarist from the Allman Brothers Band -- has died after some health issues ... this according to his family.

                    Live at Fillmore East is their definitive album, focused on blues and rock with extended jams.
                    For my money, the best of Dickie Betts is found on the two studio albums after Duane's death: Eat A Peach, and Brothers and Sisters.


                • Whitey Herzog, Hall of Fame manager who led St. Louis Cardinals to 3 pennants, dies at 92

                  Somehow, I missed the news of Whitey Herzog's passing. As I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Cubs fan, Whitey was always the enemy. But I give him credit: He was arguably the top manager of the 1980s, taking the Cardinals to 3 World Series, including on championship. He was proof positive that a properly managed team could win it all with fundamentals: pitching, defense, speed, and discipline.
                  RIP, Whitey.
