Big News Strikes When We’re Away: Walton and Trump Edition
It never fails that when we are gone, something big always happens. This time, two big stories emerged. The first was the shock and surprise that Bill Walton had died. Usually, a celebrity of that status has well-known health problems. Outside of his physical problems with his knees and back, no one really knew. I was surprised as well, but no one had a bigger zest for life than Bill Walton. As I wrote a few weeks ago, it's too bad it takes a death to bring out the best in a person and their life's accomplishments.
