Hmm… Mayors with pancreatic cancer… Perhaps that should be a theme for next year…

And congrats on re-taking the lead! 
Wasn’t she the one that had the highly publicized scandalous affair with the then [Governor?] of [Louisiana?]?

Thank you. With only 4 points between us and the rest of my folks seemingly doing well it looks like a horse race between us (and a few others not too far behind).
The list of corpses missed Robert H. Schuller on April 2nd.
One of my favorite actors, John Hurt, has just announced he has pancreatic cancer.

Yeah, four points isn’t much - it’s what happens with the rest of our lists, rather than that four-point margin, that will determine which of us finishes ahead of the other.
But really everyone at or over 200 points is within 2 deaths of the lead, and 2 deaths on one’s list can happen pretty fast, as I found out just a few weeks back.
So like you say, it isn’t just us.
Thanks for pointing that out! I think at the time, I just missed the fact that anyone had him on their list. But now I see that Allecher’s list of annoying evangelists included him.
Re-running the chronological list of corpses that count, to include Schuller:

Australian Olympian and Gold Coast Mayor Ron Clarke has died at age 78.
He was a long distance runner.
Jack King, the “Voice of Apollo”, has had all the seconds of his life reach 0.
MC Supreme is now “Dead in America”.
I never knew one could be dead in a particular jurisdiction - I thought that if you were dead, you were dead everywhere.
But that could be useful! I wouldn’t mind being dead in America if I could simultaneously be alive on some pleasant Caribbean island.
This would have been advantageous to Hotblack Desiato if his tax accountants could have utilized this. 
As with most things, it depends upon how much money you have.
Nelson Doubleday, former NY Mets owner, a 19pt whiff.
what the hell kind of name is “Doubleday” for a baseball team owner??
