Jimmy Buffet was part of the soundtrack of my sailing days, particularly in the Caribbean. I can barely believe it. My favourite Jimmy Buffet song: "The Captain and the Kid" I never used to miss the chance To climb up on his knee Listen to the many tales Of life upon the sea We'd go sailin' back on barkentines An' talk of things he did Tomorrow just a day away For the captain and the kid His world had gone from sailin' ships To rakin' mom's backyard He never could adjust to land Although he tried so hard We both were growin' older then Wiser with our years That's when I came to understand The course his heart still steered He died about a month ago While winter filled the air And though I cried, I was so proud To love a man so rare He's somewhere on the ocean now A place he outta be With one hand on the starboard rail He's wavin' back at me I never used to miss the chance To climb up on his knee Listen to his many tales Of life upon the sea We'd go sailin' back on barkentines Talk of things he did The world was just a day away For the captain and the kid For the captain And this kid

He had such a wry, playful sense of humour!

Buffett died of Merkel skin cancer. He'd been battling it for 4 years.

In case anyone doesn't recognize the name - you might recognize the song.
Eagles did a Buffett tribute last week at one of their Farewell Tour stops (skip ahead to about the 2 minute mark if you want to skip the chitchat at the beginning):

RIP David. I had the biggest crush on him as Illya Kuryakin in The Man from Uncle:

Oh wow. RIP Senator. What a sad ending to an incredible career. And now a big problem as the Dems wrangle for a replacement.

Maybe not. She'd already said she wasn't running next year and there are some really good candidates in the race. The governor said he'll appoint a temporary replacement but it won't be one of the declared candidates as he doesn't want to tilt the race one way or the other. The real issue might be her replacement on the Judiciary Committee. That will be a problem.

RIP Mark
I still watch reruns of the show occasionally. Had no idea that after his acting career he was a special education teacher for 20 years.

I loved Matthew Perry. Especially in "Where Fools Rush In". He'll be missed.

She was the first first lady, in our time, unafraid to show that she had a brain and took a lot of flack for it. She and Jimmy had quite the love story. R.I.P.
