And so, on hearing that he died it really made me wonder: did he actually expire? or just reinvent himself in a way we can't yet understand? (Wow... that's some weighty stuff this early in the day!)

For my last project, that was to watch "Bram Stoker's Dracula." Yet, I forgot to watch it! (I'll blame the holidays.) It's still sitting on the shelf waiting. I might have to get to it sometime this week. I deserve that reward, even if I forgot about it. :)<br /><br />I was surprised and saddened at seeing about David Bowie this morning. "Space Oddity" (Ground Control to Major Tom) was my favorite of his songs.

I always liked him, thought he was talented. It's pretty creepy when people who meant something to your childhood start dying off. <br /><br />Congrats on almost finishing your WIP! No, I've never had a "The End" sneak up on me. I've had lots of times when I wondered if it was every going to be finished though. I can usually get through the first third no prob. The second slows down a lot, and by the third I want to strangle someone and never write another word. Spending over a year writing something is just too damn long - unless you're King or Koontz and gonna make big bucks out of it. :PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-10123871344520209182016-01-11T11:12:07.831-05:002016-01-11T11:12:07.831-05:00I had no idea that he had died. Oh my goodness it ...I had no idea that he had died. Oh my goodness it sometimes seems to me that we are losing all the great ones. Ray Charles death affected me a lot. It was like no I wanted to meet him someday! Even though that was extremely unlikely I still wanted him to be around and love his music so dearly. Glad that you writing Jeff and keep it up.Sheena-kay Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712661419116636671noreply@blogger.com
