Richard Briers has passed away at the age of 79, following a long struggle with a lung condition. May he rest in peace. For Doctor Who fans, he appeared in the Seventh Doctor story Paradise Towers, playing the Chief Caretaker. He also played the role of Henry Parker, in the Torchwood episode A Day In The Death. I also remember that he played Smee in the 2003 version (which I think I saw on Encore once) of Peter Pan, and had a role in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994).

Now Playing Podcast: Silent Night (2012)

On the snow/ice storm front: Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, we’re expected to get anywhere up to a foot of snow. Could be more than 12 inches, could be less, but if it’s heavy and wet anywhere they’re already warning that there could be power outages. Sleet is also expected as it turns into a blizzard. Mom and I are gathering coats and blankets just in case the power goes out. We have so much bread and regular food, we have water, we have blankets and warm clothing, we…have discovered that the gas heater we obtained was installed incorrectly and therefore cannot be turned on. It would wreck the wall to remove it, so there it will stay. It also has a bit of fine print against the wall stating not to use it if there’s anyone anemic in the house or planning to be in the house. We are trying to find the little propane heaters Dad bought after the ice storm years back.

(If anyone wonders, yes, he will be stranded at the hospital for the duration.)

Oh, and they’ve named it Winter Storm Euclid. So we can blame the Father of Geometry.
