Ok, for 2014, one of my alternates died, so I had to add an alternate. The rest of the list is pretty much like it’s been for a while now. I present my list early so everyone will know not to put 'em on their lists as they are The Immortal Ones!

I could just re-submit my 2014 list - everyone on it is still alive and kicking, except for one of the alternates, dammit.
But Michael Schumacher is apparently past the point in his recovery where he would be that much more at risk of dying than the rest of us, and now that Lindsay Lohan has left age 27 in the rearview mirror, I’m giving up on her, so that’s at least two people I’m gonna have to replace. So I might as well re-think the rest of my list while I’m at it.
ETA: Thanks, Bullitt, for the links to all the old threads!
