I have to put in a personal Sad Cheese for Rue.

I am going to start rewatching all the GG episodes again. (I have the whole series on DVD)

Someone I had the pleasure of meeting just once, but considered a mentor. The entire world of basketball fans mourns him.

The classiest of classy men.

Although Rue's probably should've had a low neckline. Just sayin'.

Not just basketball fans. Not into B-Ball myself, but I had a lot of admiration for Coach.

The fact that I (a non-sporting type) know who he is, his philosophy and many of "his" players says a lot about him.

Walt "Disney" Whitman RIP 1819-2010

This was unexpected, I thought he had died a long time ago.

I read his most famous poem in college, an ode to to marijuana, called, Leave the Grass.

I still can recall a bit of it:

"O won't ye leave the grass
Do you need to take it with?
You see, this pipe is cash
And I need only a bidth."

(Pic related -- It's Walt Whitman)

Indeed, and I certainly did not mean to limit his influence to simply the world of basketball afficianados. Some of his wisdom was simply amazing and I quote him regularly.

One of my favorites recently -

"Talent is God-given - be humble. Fame is man-given - be grateful. Conceit is self-given - be careful."

His dedication to and love for his late wife was moving. I once read a story about how 5 years after her death he had agreed to write a book with a co-author about his relationship with her. The day of the first appointment between the two arrived and he met the man at his door, and while crying he backed out saying "it's just too soon....too soon.".
