I was born in 1962; you do the math. (See also: I'm too lazy to remember to update this thing regularly.) I bought my first house in the summer of 2009; I share it with four cats and with the memories of The Runt and Little Girl, who both passed away in 2011. Rocky, the cat for whom this blog was named, passed away in 2008; I miss them all. I wish I lived somewhere where the winters weren't eight months long; other than that, life is good.
"They" say comedians are often in reality sad people. The first time I saw him, on Happy Days, I was dismayed by him. He was too frantic, too ... I can't think of the word I want. Desperate? I've never been able to enjoy him because of that. I had the same reaction to Andy Kaufman, but for different reasons. I had a strong feeling that neither of them liked themselves.
I am sorry he's gone, but probably not for the same reasons as others. It's like I wanted him to have a chance to know and like himself, and I'm sorry he never had that.

Guess money, fame and talent are no match for demons. The world is poorer without him.
