Do you remember the Prisoner?

Man, for real... I watched an episode of Lost last night (only the 2nd ep seen) and thought about The Prisoner and the Island. I wondered if Patrick was still alive and speculated he was about 30 when the showed aired. He'd be about 80. Still alive.

He died today.

We're gettin' old. At least in years.
At least we still feel like teenagers in body and spirit. :victory:
