And one last note, via my dog wants to be on the radio, [1] is the sad news that Charles Schulz [2] is retiring from the Comics Industry after nearly 50 years of drawing “Peanuts.”
One of those quiet earth shaking moments when you realize that everything eventually passes on. But even though I haven't read a “Peanuts” strip in years, I knew it would always be there. It's been there all my life. And now that I think about it, for most of my parents' life as well.
