Daily Mirror article says Bruce is still visiting and caring for his first wife. Apparently, she was moved in five years ago, after it became impossible to care for her at home. Also, mentions she had a stroke.

Just read the entire Katherine Crowe blog entry myself (le sigh). Sounds to me more like positive thinking than any actual medical pro telling her she'll see 2014 or Xmas. And, she's still in hospice. I haven't given up, and neither will she evidently...

Also, chairman and CEO of Time Warner Cable, Glenn Britt, has had a cancer recurrence.

No news about Jovanka Brons, but another of Tito's three wives, Herta Haas has just died "in obscurity" in Belgrade, aged 96. Jovanka Broz in a "critical condition" in a Serbian hospital. Slightly improving, but still not in good shape at all, especially if this excerpt is true: Dead.

He's coming home. RETRACTION: Or not. Guess all the newswires got it wrong.

One month later.

Think the only reason I kept him off this year was the reports that he had regained "minimal consciousness" in late 2012. Thinking of the kind of top notch health care royals get, too, I thought he'd be another Sonny von Bülow.

Laszlo Csatary dead.

His neighbourhood has been shelled after a previous attack on his convoy today.

Had Phyllis Schlafly on my list last year. She turns 89 in a few days. Probably one of those sour old hags that makes it to a hundred, though.

What an upset! Mugabe camp has claimed victory.

Randy Travis has been released from hospital, and is headed to a rehabilitation centre.

Omar al-Bashir had a lipoma removed in November, which may or may not have been mentioned here, I don't know. Government claimed it wasn't serious.

Kalashnikov, because I'm sick of picking Mandela.

I subscribe to Vanity Fair, and just got the Harper Lee issue a few days ago. Nothing too much new, but it says, "she is paralyzed on the left side, profoundly dead, 95 percent blind, and has very poor memory,"

Often seems like couples who've been together for such long times are quick to follow one another to the grave. This might be the final push needed for old Pete.
