Mine is HERE.
Happy New Year, Galen.

Way to go Me
Happy New Year to all!
Gosh didn't remember all those people gone this year.
Thanks to G-Man for hosting and entertaining us each week.
a farewell
Gone but not forgotten. Funny men and beautiful women. A fine year end tribute, G.
My 55 is HERE .
Yes, a lot of people moved on this year. Funny how we remember movie stars more than politicians--maybe because they brought us so much more pleasure?
Hey I actually wrote something on purpose to be short for this week's magpie tales--so I'm using it here too
Two Shadormas on Gloves
And no, a shadorma is not something you add on to the back of the house for more rooms.
We lost quite a crew this year. Thanks for listing a few of the most memorable.
Mine's up!
what a terrific round up of people we shall miss and so lovely that you remembered dr. john. may they all rest in peace.
i'm up here
We lost some good ones in 2010.
Thoughtful 55, G-Man... very appropriate for the final 2010 55.
Mine's also in the New Year's spirit!
Resolution # 55
Oh, I miss Dr. John!
Mine will be up in the morning!
Looking back on a year of death - scary. And in some cases too close to home.
Mine is here
You are just so creative now, I love it!
wow,
what a list,
Glad you remember and thoughtful enough to remind us..
here is my Flash Friday 55
A fitting tribute from one kick ass host. Mine is up. I just haven't figured out how to link in the comment section. Happy New Year, Galen
Very nice!
Now I'll be humming "Big Bad John" all evening.
And I'll be reminiscing over some good Leslie Nielsen quotes. :)
Thanks for another Friday 55!
Mine's here. :)
You have a great tribute here. We lost a lot of great ones in the last year. The human wanted me to tell you she has posted her 55 here.

What an excellent reminder of some sad losses. A great tribute.
Happy New Year to you G-Man!
Nice tribute. I'm here. Thanks again for hosting! You know how to throw a good party.
Yes, they're all gone and, as this new year dawns and I realize I'm actually 66, I wonder how many more times I'll see that ball drop in Times Square!! How did the years pass by so quickly!
Mine is here:

Happy New Year Galen!!
Wasn't Lena Horn just a dish? Nice rememberance. Hope you have a special New Years Eve and that the New Years treats you with the best of everything. My 55 is up! Hugs...
Hi, Galen: I will miss them all. Nice tribute. My 55 is up. Better late than never! You have a wonderful New Year, my dear friend. Donnetta
I am always surprised when I see the run-down of famous people who died - I guess I just don't pay attention to that sort of thing.
(But no tears from me for Guccione - he's one of those people who makes me wish I did believe in hell.)
Happy New year Galen Dear!
May YOURS be a face we do not say bye to for many many many many years, Galen.
xxoo
I'll be in next week for a 55.
And I have a bit of a "treat" for you in my typo post this coming Monday. Something that also involves Mama Z. and Shay.
hmmmmn..... intrigued?? :)
I miss the dragons too.
Happy New Year sweetie x
And I also meant to say, Happy New Year's to you and your family. :-)
Happy new year Galen!
May this year bring you lots and lots of cool happenings.
