[CT] Chuck Jones

[Daniel Moran]

Been a rough few years over here. In the last 3 years I've had a 
sister-in-law murdered, lost my grandfather, stepfather, the uncle my son 
was named for (my father's youngest brother); a few weeks ago I lost my 
friend Dick Sommers, who was 71 and was mentioned in the dedication to Last 
Dancer. My father's younger sister had a stroke and is dying right now. Jim 
Murray died, Chick Hearn had heart surgery and a broken hip within weeks of 
one another, and Chuck Jones has died.

When I was a teenager 5 of my friends died within a space of a couple 
years. It was rough, and in some ways may have been worse because their 
deaths were unexpected -- but I didn't feel _old_ because of it.

Allegedly the most stressful events in life are Death, Birth, Divorce, 
Marriage, Losing Your Job and Starting a New One. I'm 5 for 6 in the last 3 
years -- 6 for 6 if you stretch it back 5 years. Throw in the never-ending 
court time with my wife's psychotic (literally, apparently -- this twitch 
"forgets" things like having tried to choke her to death) -- psychotic 
ex-husband, and we've got material for 20 books.
