There goes another inspirational
figure...
I think we've all heard of Andy Rooney.
He was that guy at the end of the CBS news magazine show 60
Minutes who always had some
funny little commentary on the world.
These commentaries
could be on just about anything, ranging from current events to
politics to, well, pencils, like I did a recent blog about myself.
I'm sure Mr. Rooney wasn't just pulling these commentaries out of his
ass like I do, because he had to get by the CBS editorial review
board, whereas I do not.
In a way, it's
funny that I call Mr. Rooney one of my inspirational figures. See, I
didn't ever really watch or read much of his work when he was alive.
I knew who he was and what he did, of course, but I didn't pay as
much attention as maybe I should have, and I have a regret or two
about that now.
Andy Rooney was 92
years old when he died this weekend of complications from a recent
surgery. He worked for CBS almost right up until the end. I can
only hope that my writing career is as long as his was.
We'll be seeing
you, good sir!
