RIP Lloyd the Paranoid Mouse

CityCynic.com::

Unfortunately, Lloyd the Paranoid Mouse passed away tonight, just a few weeks after learning how to walk upside down on the cage top. He was the father to many mice and although his tail often oscillated wildly like a crazy antenna when you would approach his cage, he was a nice pet.

Sorry to see you go, Lloyd. At least you had a name.

Down The Avenue: Goodbye Christopher Reeves

Renee Blodgett:

The media and the world say goodbye to Christopher Reeves. This just wasn't supposed to happen. The last time I felt this wrench in my stomach when I heard Princess Diana died.

He has provided hope and inspiration for so many for close to a decade. Imagine having his optimism for so many years. Reeve wrote in his 1998 memoir, "Still Me." "I have the opportunity now to make sense of this accident. I believe that it's what you do after a disaster that can give it meaning."

Professor Kim's News Notes: Christopher Reeve Dead at 52:

But it was to be his life, and like the rest of us with disabilities, you realize that it is up to you to fight for whatever life is available to you. You realize too, that it is a daily choice, and sometimes a daily hurdle to jump. With the support of his wife and family, Christopher Reeve fought valiantly, and I realized this morning that I had come to identify with his struggle as a result of my own.
