Betty White Has Died
On the eve of the old year and the cusp of a new, the unimaginable has happened. Betty White has passed away — only 18 days from her 100th birthday, which just recently she'd been looking forward to celebrating. 100 years. Imagine that. I know there have been a fair few who have reached that age and beyond, but not many. And Betty was one of the special ones. She was a beacon of....everything being right with the world. Or at least if not right, then okay. Everything was okay because we still had Betty. We may have lost so much the last few years, especially the last two. But hey, Betty was still alive and kicking so, we had that to lean on in our collective times of struggle and despair. Betty had made it through.

Mukesh Ambani's Succession Plans And Why They Matter To All Of Us
Last week, there were news reports that Asia’s richest businessperson, Mukesh Ambani ha been drawing up succession plans detailing how his immense wealth would be divided among his wife and three children. These plans, reported by several news portals indicated that Ambani plans to follow the model of inheritance of wealth in family businesses that Walmart’s Walton family is known for. Among other things, Ambani’s plans include placement of his children on the boards of the many businesses in the sprawling Reliance empire and drawing up a “clear” succession plan, leaving no room for ambiguity, as to who gets what after he retires or after he is no more. In other words, the whole idea is to ensure a “smooth” transition to the Next Gen of the Ambani clan so that there are no unseemly squabbles and internecine family fights over his wealth.

Meeting the Genie, Mrs. Doubtfire and Other Great Characters
Iraq 2010, Deployment Balad. With it getting close to the Holidays, many Soldiers decide to take their available leave to go home to be with family. I however had already spent my two weeks with my lovely wife on her birthday back in October. Balad was not the greatest of bases, too many High Command always walking around. On the plus side they always had new movies showing every weekend like Harry Potter 4, great concerts like Trace Adkins and Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. But the one I was looking forward to was the great man, Robin Williams. He was on the Holiday USO Show touring through.

In Memory of Jim Varney (Ernest P. Worrell)
Comedians add so much to our lives by playing parts of fictional characters who seem so real we do not think of them by their real-life names, but by their character names. Like most actors, many names are ascribed to them depending on what part they are playing at the time.
