Sad, sad day

Today we lost one of America's most beloved actors and one of my personal heroes, Andy Griffith. I watched his reruns when I wasn't allowed to watch anything else. The lessons taught on his show are ones I use with my own children today. His calm sensibility and southern wit appealed to me from the very beginning. My brother and I laughed until we cried at "No Time For Sergeants" and I wore out his comedy album talking about baseball and Shakespeare. A little bit of my childhood died today and the lights of television have dimmed considerably. Rest in peace, Mr. Griffith. You will be missed.
