That is sad. I enjoyed watching him on Letterman and later on a show called Night Music.

RIP Hiram.

A New Frontier

Hey, this Bullog thing really works-how cool ! In case you've been wondering what's up with me, I'm attacking a nasty little tumor in my throat that I was diagnosed with in January. Not to worry, it's a very treatable thing, but the treatments themselves are a bit nasty; basically, they poison me to kill the cancer, then bring me back to health (actually I guess that last part is on me). I needed to lose some weight anyway ! One of the toughest things is seeing the people in the hospital who are really ill and depressed. It's then that you can really see the effect of a kind word or a smile; it actually has a physical value. Also, the health care providers can use a little cheering up too-they just see sick people all day (that's gotta be tough). Anyhoo, I'll keep you guys posted on my condition; now the worse of it is that I've lost my sense of taste, so even bean burritos aren't appealing ! They say that will return though-can't wait ! Talk to ya later-Hiram OUT.
Very sad.
