Felix and Oscar may now be together in the Afterlife. More sad news today: Jack Lemon, star of many films, passed away at 74. One of my favorite films of all time is Some Like it Hot, the Billy Wilder-directed film that starred Lemon, Tony Curtis, and Marilyn Monroe. Tony is now the only surviving member of that group... The film is a prime example of the screwball comedy. Years ago, a film teacher almost managed to ruin the film for me, but couldn't succeed. Lemon was a well-loved member of old school Hollywood, an actor famous for great comedies, but also a great dramatist. He was a man so loved and respected, actor Vim Raines gave him his 1999 Golden Globe, because he felt Jack deserved it. Goodbye, Mr. Lemon. Those of us who remember your work will make sure you're never forgotten. Posted by Jeff Boman on Thursday, June 28, 2001 | link me Seymour!

The family friend I mentioned a few weeks back died in the early hours of the morning.
She stopped eating more than 2 weeks ago, and she hadn't opened her eyes in over a week. She'd gone into a coma.
She didn't feel pain in the end, and her suffering is now over - but what an awful way to go.
It's something we've expected for weeks now, an inevitable ending... but it still hurts. I've been on the brink of tears ever since mom told me.

The day after St-Jean. I went out to a banking machine in the morning, but stayed in the rest of the day. It was insanely hot outdoors... I'm not stupid!
I spent a large part of the day copying over my personal diary to another program; problem with Lite versions of some apps is that they don't provide proper export functions... so, I cut and paste, and re-live some of my older journal entries while I do.
