Seven years ago, after I had a nasty bout with malignant skin cancer, I was hesitant to buy a Corvette...Yes, no...I really shouldn't...etc etc.

One of the guys at work came up to me and we started to talk about the car...and he pointed to the scar on my face and said "Didn't you learn anything from that?"

Done deal.

I have always felt that when something tragic happens, like what did with Weldon, the best thing we can do is honor their lives by learning something from it AND putting it into action. It doesn't have to be something as extraordinary as dropping moolah on a HDTV...but just some way of acknowledgment.

So, when the bill arrives for the TV, I'll just blame it on him.
RIP Santiago
