John Hughes who’s famous for writing big 80’s hits such as Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club, and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off died today at the age of only 59. I love just about everything to do with the 80’s,  and I loved many of his films. It’s just so sad to see him go at such a young age.

It’s so strange how so many well known people are passing away. I didn’t blog about it here, but Farrah  Fawcett and of course Michael Jackson passing recently. My heart goes out to all their families.

Bill Clinton went to North Korea on a diplomatic trip concerning two US journalists that were being held in custody. Now the two women are free and back home with their families. Way to go Mr. Clinton!! No matter what people may feel about him, he has done a good thing this week.

It’s so wonderful that Euna Lee and Laura Ling have reunited with their loved ones. I can’t even begin to imagine what they have gone through. It was so touching to see the first pictures of them hugging their families. It was just good to see this day come.
