A Sad Passing....

I just heard a few minutes ago about the passing of actor Patrick Swayze. I had heard he was fighting cancer but didn't know how advanced it had become. I think I admired the fact that of all his credits he was able to maintain a healthy balance between work and family. He will be sorely missed. I was blessed with a rare opportunity to meet him while he was filming the movie, "Waking Up in Reno" when we had the comedy club in the then Reno Hilton. He dropped by the club (along with Billy Bob Thornton) and I just thought it was really cool they could just hang out for a bit between shooting their movie for a few laughs. My condolences to his close friends and family and a prayer out your way too.
