Disclaimer! This has nothing to do with Culebra; Mr. Buchwald hung out on Martha's Vineyard, silly man!

We were too late for Mark Twain/Samuel Clements for commentary, but we did have Art Buchwald, until today. Slipping past the doctors and fate for a year when he decided not to have dialysis for his liver failure, he kept writing and kept laughing.
One of his quotes I like a lot (and maybe this DOES have to do with Culebra) is:
"Whether it's the best of times or the worst of times, it's the only time we've got."
And so it goes - oh wait, that's Linda Ellerbee!

Heard him on NPR's "Fresh Air" a few months ago. Awesome.

RIP, Mr. B.
