R.I.P., Yogi. Some Yogi-isms:
“It ain’t over till it’s over.” (Well Yogi, I think it is over.)
It never occurred to me until now how similar these are in tone to “Ringo-isms,” like “it’s been a hard day’s night,” or “tomorrow never knows.”
Did you see the Boo Boo the AP made?

His wife once asked Berra where he wanted to be buried, in St. Louis, New York or Montclair. “I don’t know,” he said. “Why don’t you surprise me?”

And another Yogi-ism, appropriate for today: “Always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise they won’t go to yours.”
It’s like deja vu all over again.

I just found out that Candice Vadala, aka Candida Royalle, died on September 7th. She died of cancer at age 64.
Royalle was a major figure within a certain genre of filmmaking; namely porn. She started as a performer but decided that nobody was making porn marketed to women, so she started her own production company. Nowadays, “female friendly” and “couples” porn is a major segment of the genre and Royalle essentially invented it.

Kind of an unfortunate first name, considering .

On his approach to at-bats: “You can’t think and hit at the same time.”
On economics: “A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore.”
On the 1973 Mets: “We were overwhelming underdogs.”
On a slipping batting average: “Slump? I ain’t in no slump. … I just ain’t hitting.”
On pregame rest: “I usually take a two-hour nap from 1 to 4.”
On battling the shadows in left field at Yankee Stadium: “It gets late early out there.”
On fan mail: “Never answer an anonymous letter.”
On being told he looked cool: “You don’t look so hot yourself.”
On being asked what time it was: “You mean now?”
On being given a day in his honor: “Thank you for making this day necessary.”
On a spring training drill: “Pair off in threes.”
On death: “Always go to other people’s funerals. Otherwise they won’t go to yours.”
On the fractured syntax attributed to him: “I really didn’t say everything I said.”
“In 1951, Mr. Larson was offered the role of Olsen, an eager young reporter and photographer at the Daily Planet who idolizes his more mature colleague Clark Kent (not even knowing that Kent is secretly Superman) and constantly gets himself and his fellow reporter Lois Lane into perilous situations that require rescue by a superhero.”
Any other reporters out there who required the same?
He came to the fork in the road and he took it.

Damn it! I had Yogi on my list at least once in the past but not this year. He was on my short list for 2016. Probably my fault he died then. RIP, Yogi.
The Log Lady has died.
I offer this dirge in her memory.
Frankie Ford , who sang “Sea Cruise,” has died at 76.
Phil Woods , saxophonist, has died at 17 pts.
Everett Parker , who took on the FCC and established the public’s right to influence broadcast licensing decisions.
Well, temporarily established, anyway. Ronald Reagan and his FCC chair, Mark Fowler, pretty much undid that in the 1980s.
