Michael Crichton
has died from cancer. I hadn't heard that he was sick.
I used to really like him, finding his books fast-paced, interesting, and well researched. Then he wrote that
piece of trash that refutes global warming, and I lost most of my respect for him. Somewhere, he lost his way.
He was also an executive producer for the TV show ER, and I'm sure you all know how I feel about that show, giving birth as it did to the career of my future husband. *g*
Anyway, regardless of how I feel about him, I wish him a safe journey to the other side, and comfort to his loved ones.
