    No, he died relatively young in his early 60's.

    It was a big milestone for all of us siblings when we passed that age in which our parents passed away.

    Today in history, my old HS made Sportscenter top 10 plays, but not in a good way. They lost the state championship game.

    Kind of surreal that it fell on a Sunday this year. Just like in 1941.

    It hit the news in the States around 12:30 or so Houston time. Trying to imagine turning on the TV to watch football around 1pm (like yesterday) and seeing this all over the news.

    Sorry, I'm nerding out again...

    Today in 1972 members of Apollo 17 left the moon. They were the last humans to visit. If you are younger than 53, no human has been on the moon in your lifetime.
