And then, John Ritter

I loved Jack. I also loved Krissie and Jeannette. But I loved Jack more.

I loved his way of letting Mr. Rupper believe he was gay, while he was

dating all of these women; so many of them...

I was not his only fan for sure, since John Ritter won an Emmy for the

role. And, John did something ever more remarkable: He is one the very

rare comedians to make a come-back at prime time. Successfully that is, in

ABC's My Teenage Daughter.

This morning John Ritter died. So did Charles Bronson (another idol of my

earlier years) two weeks ago. So did Gregory Hines, handsome and

distinguished Mr Hines, last month.

Do you know who is next?

If I were you, I would, from now on, eat my vegetables, take my vitamins,

reconcile with my ex-best friend, stop all sinful sexual activities,

establish a direct line of communication with God, devest from the stock

market, write my will, update my insurance policies, and let all my

friends and relatives know where I want to be buried, or who should

inherit from my ashes.

I am telling you: You are next....
