Extra Extra! Extra so does a 101-year-old Japanese royal. One extra for me: 14 for year-to-date.

I wondered why I, a Canadian widow, received no marriage proposals or even greetings. Maybe people are busy at the shooting range.

I had just finished my binge of series 1 of "Upstart Crow" (2016) on my library streaming service Kanopy when I learned about "Ludwig" (2024), so I binge that online.

10 Nov update double: 8 November - June Spencer 9 November - Ella Jenkins

I am off the starting line with the ending of my MACCHIATOS, June Spencer

Today I see two strikes on my list. Esther Rantzen, currently my top substitute, may replace Trevor Sorbie, and Steve Gleason may step in for the stepped out June Spencer. Two new substitutes to follow the standing Jody Gormley are Arnold Yarrow and Woody Woodbury

This Jody Gormley typ seems to be popular. I have no imagination today so I request Gormley for my third substitute.

Bernard Marcus is a hit for me in this competition.

Jimmy Carter Lee Adams Rudolph A. Marcus Marita Camacho Quirós Jamal Yunos Nigel Starmer Smith Noam Chomsky Stephen Darby Trevor Sorbie Vera Miles Janey Godley Linda Tirado Sonny Rollins John Hemingway Georg Koch Jane Morgan Alan Bergman Eva Marie Saint June Spencer Steve McMichael Substitutes: Gloria Whelan Esther Rantzen Steve Gleason Thank you, @Lafaucheuse for reprising this fun game.

I remember a certain Roxy Music hit single receiving heavy airplay at a Vancouver radio station at the time Lemay was playing for the Canucks, and I half-imagined Bryan Ferry was singing about him: "Tell me one thing, Moe Lemay..."

Andrew Schally is one pick on my alt.obituaries list, and I have yet to see an email from the admin confirming my hit. Apparently a sleeper pick.

Alvin Rakoff is a hit for me.

November 11

Five months without a hit made me inattentive, Ethel Kennedy's 10 Oct death returned my attention and should increase my score.

If the list could be updated also for Martin Mull ("Gene Parmesan"), who also died in 2024, that would be grate.
