    I grew up listening to George Carlin on tv,records, and if the right station came in on the radio when they played one of his albums.


    RIP George.

    Tough to see it so close, so often. I guess we all get those kinds of cycles, at one time or another. Touching wood doesn't help either. When its time, its time.:)

    Onward...
