In Memoriam

So maybe we weren't related, but I'd like to take a moment to remember another Johns, Stephen Tyrone, who lost his life yesterday to a racist whackjob at the National Holocaust Museum.  It seems he died trying to protect museum patrons from getting in the line of fire.

Brando has known me to complain when sports announcers throw the word "hero" around--it's a word that they use too easily, but doesn't belong to them.

It belongs to him.

Here, here! Anyone named Johns (well, almost anyone...but I digress) has to be a good guy. I drove by the museum in Skokie today on my way to work and there were a couple of cruisers parked in the lot, just in case the whackjob has friends, I suppose. Thanks for drawing attention to someone who deserves his label, for a change!
