Bill and Melinda Gates are divorcing. The news sort of shocked and saddened me. They've been married so long. Now, this news which is something. Woo boy.

And I leave you with this sad news: Skid Row frontman Johnny Solinger has liver failure. This post is sad on so many levels, including an indictment on the American healthcare system.

Heard about Johnny yesterday. Sad news. Boy oh boy, though, the knuckle-dragging keyboard warriors are out in full attack mode questioning his lifestyle, etc., etc. Regardless the cause, it is sad news. Never really liked much of SR sans-Bach, but the guy did a decent run with the band. Bummer he has to go hat-in-hand at a time like this.
I guess Mr. Gates can now spend even more time with his ex-girlfriend! Guy is a nerdy genius. But he and his soon-to-be-ex have done a lot of good in this world. Kudos to them. Hope they can keep things amicable. Seems like that is the plan.
Finally, I think I am going to sue. "Digital Twins" is the name of my recently release book of tone-poems. By 'recently released', I mean that a strong gust of wind blew all of my poems hither and yawn (I know it is spelled differently, but that is the reaction I got from my critics/camping mates) after I opened my tent flap to see if there were any people stealing my pallets/firewood.
Enjoy your week everyone!
