R.I.P. Stan Berenstain

The creator of the Berenstain Bears passed away. Stan Berenstain was 82. (read CNN story) Reading the Berenstain Bears' books was actually one of my fondest childhood memories. It's actually one of my clearest childhood memories (as people know, my memory is shot to shit these days...). That and reading Shel Silverstein books.

Anyways, with my trip back to MN over Thanksgiving and the fact that a lot of my friends didn't come back to MN for the holidays (and some don't even have family who live there anymore), I started to realize that I'm getting older and people moving on is a price of growing up. This story just reminded me of my childhood which is now past as well. RIP Stan.
