The deaths of several famous people this week serves to remind us that fame and fortune do not guarantee you will really live to see or enjoy it. Certainly the life of Michael Jackson as gifted as he is was a mixture of both triumph and happy days and huge depths of despair. Whether Michael was guilty or unjustly accused we will never know. His judgement on that awaits him as he leaves this earthly place but that he gave his gift of music to the world is indisputable. I am glad there was a Michael Jackson because at least for his brief time he made the world sing and dance. He made people from all cultures sing the same language at least for a brief period of time. He made people near and far celebrate in the common language of talent. Thank you Michael.

Farrah Fawcett also gave us a beautiful and gifted smile and made us laugh and cry at her talent. She stood in the face of death and defied its toll on her life. She also had dignity in her final days and tried to share her pain so that others would know they are not alone in the battle to fight one of the most devasting diseases of our time. Fawah with her golden smile, lovely locks and sweet disposition taught us that beauty can be inside and out.

Good bye to two great talents who have left us a better place for having them grace us.

Long, hot day coming to an end. One more day in Memphis before heading home to the beach and then to Raleigh.

This is way too cool! I like putting this in one time and then I don't have to go to all of my contacts!
