Weatherman Willard Scott dies at 87. He was known for personal on-air greetings to fans who reached 100 (including my grandmother). He was a true character. May his soul rest in peace (with blue skies and fair weather).

Yeah, one of my sons told us yesterday and my other son and I simultaneously asked: "was he 100 years old?"

May his soul rest in peace (with blue skies and fair weather). If your grandmother reached 100, we will be enjoying your comments for decades to come.  |

Thanks first for that thought, but it was my Swiss-American step-grandmother...so no genetic benefits. I am already older than all my biological grandparents. I guess that means I am on borrowed time.   |
