I had no idea. Usually when it gets to the point of refusing all but comfort care there are only weeks, maybe days, left. I think George will probably go shortly after her.

Yes, I too liked Hill Street Blues. Realism was always a goal. That noisy soundtrack was paramount even if some important dialog got lost, it was the realism that prevailed.

I think everybody needs a reason to get out of bed. If your reason is someone else, and they leave, sayonara. Like June Carter and Johnny Cash.

Coincidentally, I was just talking about this with a cardiologist yesterday. He said once you lose your will to live, and your loved ones are have given their blessing to it, you go pretty quickly.

Will to live is underestimated. I have read that it has been studied that more people will die right after a holiday like Christmas than right before when the distribution should be even.

R. Lee Emery gone.

Word was he was just an advisor for "Full Metal Jacket" but he screamed profanity and insults for 20 minutes without stopping or repeating himself and got the actual job.

When I was at Social Security I wanted to do a query if this was true but the data had only the month and year of death, not the day. I can say that I looked at specific dates of birth. More people are both in the spring and fall than the summer and winter but it isn't a strong thing, just 2% more or so. Evidently, people like to conceive in the summer and winter.
