     We all have to die at some point, so perhaps Andy Rooney's passing today was timed just about right.

  • He died just weeks after his retirement from 60 Minutes and a glowing, and deserving tribute to him by CBS (unlike their pitiful dismissal of Dan Rather).
  • He had some final time to spend with his family and Grandchildren.
  • He lived 92 years, with amazing success in his career (Amazing since he started the 60 Minutes commentary that was the centerpiece when he was already past 60!)

     With that said, I suspect those years ahead have a certain appeal no matter what your age. "101? Why not a few more....?"

     Another lesson from his passing. There is no such thing as "minor surgery" in your 90's.
     RIP, Andy.

    I'll miss his commentary. I'd love to hear what he would say about his own funeral. It would probably start with, "Have you ever noticed how people act at funerals?"
