Today's Best Person -- sadly posthumous

Farrah Fawcett has passed away.

Even typing the words it's hard to grasp that idea ... growing up, she was among my first Hollywood crushes. Her hair, her legs, that smile that turned my knees to butter ...

I remember watching her play tennis on "Battle of the Network Stars" and the announcer would tell the score "Love 15" or something along those lines and my brother would respond with "Love Farrah!"

Farrah, for the impact you had on me and all the boys in my generation, for the impact you had on abused women when you released "The Burning Bed", for the never-quit attitude and courage you displayed when you came down with cancer ... thank you, I'll miss you, I love you.


Farrah Fawcett ... today's best person. May she rest forever in peace.

Today's Best Person - Jim Hillis!

Ok, 3 of the 4 of you that read this blog are saying "Who?" The 4th one is Jim himself. So why is Jim today's best person? Because he is one of the few people I know who:

If I were stranded in the middle of the road in the middle of the night -- he would give me a lift

If I were sitting on a streetcorner, homeless and starving to death, he would put me up for the night and give me a sandwich

If I ever needed a hug, he would be there with open arms

And if any of you were in the same situations, he would give the same response.


I have never met him personally but some day I hope to ... and by reading what he has written over the past several month's in Lydia's blog, I know all of the above to be true without a shadow of a doubt.


Why is Jim today's best person? Because, dammit, he literally is one of the BEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD!
