Mark works as a [REDACTED] for [REDACTED], currently residing in Iowa. CoffeeBear.net is a place for him to blather on about whatever strikes his fancy. He currently spends his "free" time working on a photography project, playing with his cat and attempting to keep his wife happy (not necessarily in that order).
CNN is reporting that actor, Christoper Reeve, died Sunday afternoon. His family has requested that any donations be made to the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation.
Like many people of my generation, Christopher Reeve was Superman. No other actor could ever play the character for us because they weren’t him. He was iconic. He was the massive hero that many of us dreamed of becoming someday. Then when many of us grew up and learned we really were born on Earth and would never develop superpowers; we got somewhat bitter and turned away from our hero. That began to change in 1995 when Christopher Reeve was paralyzed after an equestrian accident.
Christopher Reeve became not the man beneath the cape, not even Clark Kent but rather a regular guy with bigger problems than I hope to ever have to face. And in the face of those problems, Christopher Reeve became a hero again definitively stating that he would walk again, working constantly to try and achieve his goal all the while working to inspire others with to help out those people with similar problems to his.
Mr. Reeve, you will be missed.
Adam Gessaman has a lovely quote up on his blog but if you missed the debate on Friday, then you might want go to the New York Times. As they’ve got a transcript as well as an article doing fact check on the issued that were covered. They also have a video of the debate. Note: The video requires you to have Macromedia’s Flash Player version 6.0 or higher installed. I don’t have that installed currently so I don’t know if there are any other requirements to view this but I’ll wager it shouldn’t be attempted over dial-up.

I did not vote for you in the last election and I’m not voting for you in this one. As such your telemarketers calling my house encouraging me to vote for you are wasting their time. The postcards and flyers that are being sent to me by your campaign likewise are a waste. So thank you for helping the Kerry/Edwards campaign by spending your marketing dollars on somebody who will never vote for you. I look foward to seeing you pack your bags and leave the White House.
That is all.
