Sorry to be shirking my duties but I was out of the country for a week (and apparently DavidSt has been banished from this room?).

Honestly not a ton of notable deaths while I was gone (sorry if I'm demeaning anyone by lumping them into the minor celebrity category). But comedian/civil rights activist Dick Gregory died yesterday. Frank Broyles (Arkansas football coach and athletic director) died - never was a fan of him anyway because he was pretty rude to Rice when we were in the same conference as Arkansas. And then actor Joseph Bologna died too during this past week. He was in quite a few movies but I remember him the most somehow from a short-lived TV show he starred in with a very young Matt LeBlanc in his pre-Friends days.

RIP to all and any who may have not made the cut.
