Reports are that there is an active shooting at YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, CA. There are casualties, no reports of any killed as yet. Multiple wounded have be taken to San Francisco hospitals including one shot in the chest. It appears the shooter is a white, adult female although there have been contradictory statements that it was a man.

This is an active situation and further details are not available at this time.

Sue Grafton, author of the Kinsey Milhone detective novels passed way December 29 after a two year battle with cancer. She was 77. Over more than 20 years, Grafton wrote a series of detective novels using alphabetic titles starting with “A is for Alibi” and ending with this year’s publishing of the 25th book in the series, “Y is for Yesterday”. Grafton chose to set all her books in the 1980s with a female detective named Kinsey Milhone in a fictional central coast town of Santa Teresa which most people would recognize as Santa Barbara, her actual home. Fans, including myself, eagerly awaited each book in the series, rejoicing in the publication of the 25th book this year after an interval of more than 2 years. It then became a wait-and-hope game that she would be able to complete the series, something that she had promised to try her best to do. Alas, it is not to be. The series will forever be ended at “Y”.

My sympathies to Grafton’s family and friends and to her devoted readers. She will be missed.

The New York Times has reported that America’s TV sweetheart, Mary Tyler Moore, has passed away at age 80. Most people remember her from her role on the Mary Tyler Moore show but those of us of a certain age, probably knew her first as Laura Petrie on the Dick Van Dyke show. RIP, Mary.

The jazz pianist, Dave Brubeck, died this morning of heart failure at his home in Connecticut. He was 91 years of age. Brubeck was one of the quintessential jazz musicians of the 1950s and 1960s, most famous for Take Five and Blue Rondo ala Turk, pieces written by his fellow quartet member, Paul Desmond. Up until his death, he was actively performing and had a number of events scheduled for next year.

A jazz hero of mine, he will be sorely missed.
