In case you haven�t been paying attention, I have yet to write about the death of the Man in Black: Johnny Cash. As we all know, he died Friday of a Diabetes-related illness.

I just�can�t�

I, like many, expected that after June Carter Cash�s death a few months ago, our beloved Johnny wouldn�t last long. I, like most of us, have known about his various illnesses over the past several years and knew he was not long for this world.

Knowing these things does not make his death any easier to stomach.

I really feel like a member of my family has died. It�s truly weird, I know, but I�ve still been blue for days.

I would suggest you all go read Ethel�s entry about him, which is lovely.

Topics for discussion, just as soon as I feel like writing something:

� Does anybody actually enjoy the taste of Endive lettuce?

� Barbara stuck in the Anchorage airport for 18 hours and 28 rolls of film

� Ricky the Rebel Pelican

� The Renaissance Faire or �How I Lost My Fear of Sabers in One-Hundred Degree Heat�

� Food and How it Relates to My Possible Future with John

� Falling Asleep on the Freeway � An Educational Quiz

� Vicodin � The Single, Angry Girl�s Best Friend

� National Credit Meetings or �How to Feel Smugly Superior in Just Three Short Hours�

� How My Being So Upset About Johnny Cash�s Death May Really Be More About My Own Parents and other entertaining asides
