Today, I was saddened and surprised to hear about the death of John Ritter last night.
As a teenager I watched plenty of Three's Company re-runs, and thought he was always fun to watch. I also enjoyed his new show 8 Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter, where he played the father of two teenage girls and a son. He was definitely too young to die and I will miss his television presence.

Last night we went out to dinner with Paul and Carol at Typhoon. It was my first experience seeing actual insects on a menu, and no I didn't try any ; )
The food was very good (especially the eggplant) and had lots of garlic (yum!). The sunset was beautiful last night and our view was wonderful.The restaurant is at the Santa Monica airport overlooking the air strip so you can watch the airplanes take off and land which reminded me of one of my all time favorite movies Always.

After dinner we went to see the play Journal of the Plague Year based on the Daniel Defoe novel 1722 Journal of the Plague Year. It was an excellent one man play that brought to life, through the eyes of a survivor, some of the devastation and ultimate political reaction caused by the epidemic. Adapted and performed by Stephen Legawiec, the play successfully draws you into London's east side and gives you a glimpse of what it was like to live during this tragedy. Sadly, tonight is the last show, but if you are in the Santa Monica area I recommend it!
