The Yellow Wallpaper is a terrific short story. Especially the way I teach it. Joseph Heller still dead, still at 76 (and other celebrity deaths): RIP Hank Aaron

He qualifies for this thread in every way but the RIP part. (Is "passed away" the correct euphemism for "found hanged in a jail cell"?)

the person most surprised by Epstein's suicide was Epstein.

RIP Peter Fonda.

Easy Rider an all-time classic but The Wild Angels was probably his first motorcycle movie (with Nancy Sinatra and Bruce Dern). If you didn't grow up in the 60's you can't really appreciate how "cool" these motorcycle movies were at the time to impressionable youths. He was probably the undisputed king of the genre.

A number of entries in this thread similar to Epstein have been deleted on the basis that they are notorious and not celebrities. Celebrities are persons whose life we celebrate. I don't celebrate Epstein's life, others may.

Cedric Benson died in a motorcycle crash last night, really good rb at Texas and then for the Bears and Bengals, really a shame. Still in his 30s.

The great benefit of this thread is reading about those few of us know, the gifted, the talented, the unusual, whether they are celebrated or not.

Epstein does not merit our consideration.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I had an awful July. My dog of nearly 18 years died (went from cancer diagnosis to putting her down within a few days) and my best friend died of cancer two weeks later. He was a week short of his 43rd birthday. On top of that, my wife was unemployed.

If there was a bright side, my friend's death got me back in touch with third leg of our high school trio for the first time in probably more than 20 years and we are going to be sure to keep in contact.

I'm still having a tough time of it. Not sleeping much at all. And now that my wife is back to work and I work at home, my house is very lonely during the day.

Keep hanging in there, dlk9s. I always overreact when I hear that someone loses their dog. Many of my best and most faithful friends had four paws.

Wow, Epstein and David Koch in the same month. If I was Sheldon Anderson, I wouldn't feel too comfortable right now.
