The best I can come up with, today (and it's good), is it's Stephen King's 73rd Birthday!

How appropriate, since I feel like we're living through a nightmare.

But, I digress. Happy Birthday, Stephen!!

1. Yeah, happy birthday! Years ago when he was hit by a car and knocked into a ditch,

it was touch and go there for a while. I'm glad he's still alive and delighting us with stories.

2. My one chance sighting of Stephen King was at that exact spot on the road...

exactly one year before the incident. We were visiting a friend at Kezar Lake, and she lived next door. One day, we followed our friend into town in the late afternoon on the hottest day of the year, and we saw a strange disheveled man dressed in long pants, long sleeved flannel shirt, and a book (or journal) under his arm, walking along the shoulder of the road. When we got into town, our friend said, chuckling, "Did you see that chainsaw massacre guy? That was Stephan King".

My memory of seeing him is still vivid in my mind, and I treasure it.

6. It's cool today, but it was disturbing when we first heard the news

My wife and I just looked at each other, remembering that day.

4. Happy Birthday, to one of my life-long favorites!

I've been reading your books, and being scared, since 1974!! Carrie, I think. But I was rooting for her! 'SALEM'S LOT scared the bejeesus out of me! I've loved them all over the years.
