Today's posts are only going to be on the front page for a few hours. I wasn't planning on posting today. I planned to take the week off, and my posts for the next few days were done before Christmas with stories for the 29th set to be posted in the morning. But... I had a few Christmas images I had already put together but more importantly, I wanted to ensure I paid tribute to the passing of George Michael and Carrie Fisher. Michael's music, and Fisher's movies, and personal struggles and humor, were important parts of my growing up. Both were taken far too young, but both burned powerfully strong in their far too short lives. I always wonder about energy. Both performers seemed to have so much of it. So much fire burning so intensely for all of us to feed off of and enjoy. With that amount energy exuded so consistently, it might be expected that the fire, as sad as it is, had to go out early, long before the night was over.
