HUGE update coming

I have a very big update to type out about everything that's going on around here, but I just can't seem to get around to it... I will try to type it all up tomorrow!!!

But for now, you can read the tribute I wrote to my grandpa Thompson in 2007. This year marks 20 years since he passed, that's hard to believe.

RIP Heath Ledger

April 4, 1979 - January 22, 2008

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Actor Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday of a possible drug overdose in a Lower Manhattan apartment, the New York Police Department said.

The Academy Award nominated actor was 28.

"Pills were found in the vicinity of the bed," police spokesman Paul Browne told CNN. "This is being looked at as a possible overdose, but that is not confirmed yet." The pills appeared to be over-the-counter sleeping medication, said police spokeswoman Barbara Chen.

Ledger was unresponsive when he was found by a housekeeper who had gone to wake him for an appointment with a masseuse in the Soho apartment, Browne said.

Ledger was declared dead at about 3:30 p.m., Browne said.

Sad Day

Some of you might remember that Charles had a family member battling cancer. He had been visiting Bobby three days a week... Bobby passed away this afternoon. We will miss him so much. I don't really have any more words about this situation right now.

RIP Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut (November 11, 1922 – April 11, 2007)

I really didn't even know he had died until this morning while surfing the net. The thing I remember most about Kurt Vonnegut: years ago I was watching an interview with his wife and she said that each morning he did the New York Times crossword puzzel in INK! lol Now THAT is a smart guy. :-)
