RIP "Le Grande Orange" - Rusty Staub, one of the original Montreal Expos. Hell of a thing for one of baseball's greats to pass away on the season's opening day.

RIP Bob Dorough

He played with Charlie Parker and Miles Davis, but most Americans of Bob and my age know him for the music from Schoolhouse Rock.

Milk and honey, bread and butter, peas and rice.
