I just read that actor/comedian Henry Gibson (73) and singer Mary Travers (72) just died. Add Patrick Swayze from the other day and it happened in threes.

I've noticed big deaths tend to happen in threes. There was a period from like 2004-2008 where it happened a lot. I can't remember the individuals but my ex-roomie and I noticed it and started to bet on it.

These were historical individuals who will live on in history and in our minds. There's something to be said about a person's death not being our great lost, but the individual's greatest loss instead. I'm not attempting to diminish the significance of the pain on our heart-strings, though.

Ah, but when does the third one stop, and the first one begin?
There's the rub.

I think you missed out the most important death of the year: the death in the last week of Dr. Norman Borlaug.
