Default Richard Pryor Passes on

A great comdian passed on today. A sad day, though now he is no longer of pain. You will not be forgotten.

You know, I felt a twinge of sadness today too. His life had it's good moments and bad moments, but as he said "that's what makes life".
In the long run though he did what all humans strive for to one extent or another, and that's to make a mark that he was here, and that he did!

I never thought he was that funny. But I've been unimpressed with a lot of popular comedians.

Robert Sheckley-- scifi author of some renown--died on the 9th. That affected me more.

Richard was actually quite a man. I am sure he is much happier now.
