Truly sad. I saw the breaking news report last night/this morning around 2. Not something you wanna hear about right before you go to bed. Does anyone else’s heart stops for a second or two when they see those breaking news bits?

having been around for a while….. ’tis sad when you can hear an event and remember where
and what you were doing when the other shoe dropped….. and the Kennedys were that glorious event….. while so much has happened to one family, it’s noteworthy that as Mr. Rock
would put it….” behind every great fortune, is a great crime…. ” the Kennedys have always
been able to rise to any occasion and make the better for it…. it’s as they were the living
proof that one could ” take a licking and keep on ticking…” and never miss a beat….. and for all their faults, theirs is the one family that lived for the statement …. ” one for all…. and all
for one…”

letinstar: Summer of death, indeed :( And, that would be really special if you could attend Ted Kennedy’s funeral. Sad, I’m sure, but memorable.
lamesabassman: I have a few of those “I remember where I was when” moments.
