"Alas, poor world, what treasure hast thou lost!"

All in all, I'd say it's been a good, long run. The reviews all seem to be raves. I only wish I'd been there for more of it.

Here's to you, sir. May flights of angels sing you to your rest.

This just makes me so sad!

Yeah. Me too. :(

There was a long segment on CBC's As it happens, which (happy day!) the local NPR here broadcasts.

Yeah, that's where I (sort of shamelessly) stole the quote, which was stolen from Shakespeare in the first place, and for good reason, so I feel justified, sort of. I was on my way to dinner when the segment came on, which meant I sat in my car listening and wasting gas.

I get CBC on Sirius; it was the deciding factor between Sirius and XM (which has better music stations).

Thank goodness we got the pleasure of seeing him in S&A. The fact that he probably had cancer whilst filming makes the show even more poignant.

What a brilliant actor. Fortunately, Noelle and I got to see him two years ago in the play Waiting for Godot. Hard to believe he was 85 at the time.
