Wow. I totally spaced that a new month had started. I cannot believe that I missed the Aug update for the dead celebrity watch. I guess that lack of sleep really did get to me. I need to just put a reminder on my phone or something. Well, we all know that some famous folks died last month so let’s get straight to it shall we. By the way, I added links to either Wikipedia or IMDB so you can see what the people are famous for if you don’t know or my short description isn’t enough.
Bob Probert – 45 – Hockey Player – July 5th
Simion Stanciu – 60 – Romanian Pan Flautist – July 6th
Vonetta McGee – 65 – Actress – July 9th

A few shockers in there for me I must admit. I also didn’t realize that the Tidy Bowl man and the Dr. were one in the same. I should have. I am ashamed of myself. It is a sad sad day when people die, but at least it gives me something to write about.
Until next time remember … “We’re outta towels, and I’m too old to go diving into lockers.”
