Corey Haim, a 1980s teen heartthrob whose career was blighted by drug abuse, has died. He was 38.

Haim died early Wednesday at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, Los Angeles County coroner’s Lt. Cheryl MacWillie said.

“As he got out of bed, he felt a little weak and went down to the floor on his knees,” Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said. His mother called paramedics.

An autopsy will determine cause of death. There was no evidence of foul play, police Sgt. Michael Kammert said.

Rest In Peace, Corey.

Nan Martin, a veteran stage, television and film actress whose Broadway credits include “J.B.” and “Under the Yum-Yum Tree” and who played Ali McGraw’s snooty mother in the film “Goodbye, Columbus,” died on Thursday at her home in Malibu, Calif. She was 82.

The cause was complications of emphysema, said her son Casey Dolan.

Ms. Martin gained wide exposure in the late 1990s in the recurring role of the mean-spirited boss, Mrs. Louder, in the sitcom “The Drew Carey Show.”

…

Ms. Martin’s first marriage, to the screen composer Robert Emmett Dolan, ended in divorce. In addition to her son Casey, of Los Angeles, she is survived by her husband, Harry Gesner; another son, Zen Gesner of Malibu; and three grandsons.

Rest In Peace, Nan.

Aaron Cohen, the former director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center who helped create the space shuttle program, has died in College Station after a long fight with cancer. He was 79.

Cohen was named director of the Johnson Space Center in 1986 after the space shuttle Challenger exploded, killing teacher Christa McAuliffe and six astronauts. He told the Associated Press then that flying the shuttle safely would depend on “paying attention to detail” and he would encourage those who worked for him to do so.

…

Cohen, a mechanical engineer, joined NASA in 1962 and managed the computer guidance systems for the Apollo command module and the landing module that first carried astronauts to the moon’s surface. He was a leader in developing the shuttle.

Rest In Peace, Aaron.

I would be a little more excited about this if the Democrats were not in control. I can only wonder if Scary Harry will allow this bill to come to the Senate floor.

The space shuttle era could get a new lease on life under a bill filed today by U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas.

The measure would delay the shuttle’s planned retirement in 2010 until NASA is confident that a replacement spacecraft is ready or that the shuttle and its massive payload bay is no longer needed to keep the International Space Station afloat through 2020.

When it comes to things that make sense, Harry Reid falls very far from the mark.

The weather has been especially cold, but we all know spring is just around the corner.

For months now, my wife has been planning a “big re-organization” here at the house. Currently, she is using about 2/3 of our basement for her sewing/cutting room. The garage has been my domain with my wood turning equipment and other wood working tools and supplies.

She made the case with me earlier this winter to move all of my stuff to the basement (it’s cooler in the summer anyway), and she will take the garage so she has better lighting and a more accessible room (especially in the winter).

She wants to make a few changes with the Interior Design of the house as well, which is fine with me because she always makes the right decisions. Every single person who has visited our house loves the color of the walls and every other aspect of the way our house is decorated. It’s been almost seven years since she made any drastic changes, but she has good taste and I know she won’t do anything funky to the living room. Who knows what she’ll do to that garage though!

The only part I am not looking forward too, is moving everything around the house up and down the stairs. Do you know how heavy a lathe is or a planer? I am not looking forward to all the work, but it will be nice when it’s all done.
