21.4 for me. I'm more a booklet than a book...

Oh, it's her birthday today!

German actress Mareike Carrière died of cancer at age 59. I guess she was not that well known outside the German-speaking countries but I grew up with here as a "famous" actress in several TV series. Very sad. In German:http://www.welt.de/vermischtes/article125905708/Schauspielerin-Mareike-Carriere-an-Krebs-gestorben.html

88 today. Congratulations

Cees Veerman, singer and guitarist of the Dutch 60s/70s pop band The Cats, died today at age 70.
