CLOSE TO THE END

My roller-coaster ride's almost over.  Another one of my childhood icons has gone home.

  1. My husband was sad this morning, too. She died of cancer, so not necessarily an "age" thing -- since she was only two years or so older than I am. RIP, Peggy Lipton. Chris, don't give up too soon!

  2. I'm not looking to bail early, Katherine. I want to see how this movie turns out. But facts are facts and I'm closer to the end than I am to the beginning.

    It is what it is, as the kids say.

    If I understand correctly, she'd had colon cancer about 15 years ago. Distant-in-time recurrences of colon cancer are rare, so it may have been an outbreak of a different sort of cancer. They didn't say.
