Peter Boyle died yesterday: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6177391.stm

He was 71 and for me that seems almost...young. The average age of an American is in the upper 70s. I guess no one really knows when, but reading this news got me thinking, and worrying.

What will we all do some twenty or thirty (hopefully much longer) years into the future when all of our favorite stars begin to pass? I actually cried when I learned that Jerry Orbach passed away, and I shudder to think about the state in which I will be when someone like Gillian Anderson goes the same way.

I do not mean to be overly philosophical or depress anyone, but...it has just got me thinking.
