At any rate, here's a tribute video that's cute:

I watched that video eight or nine times. I laughed so hard that I cried. Mind, it's not so much funny as wonderfully human and touching.

I had a personal triumph yesterday. I did not watch "Band of Brothers". I did not watch "The Beast". I did not crack open and consume a bottle of whiskey.
