Refine and Repeat

Yes, Roger Ebert may not be well, but he’s still with us, thank God. Esquire did a piece on him that’s wonderful reading.

Just to let you know, the article opens with a more recent portrait of Roger without the turtleneck. Poor guy lost his lower jaw to cancer. He doesn’t remember the last thing he ate, drank or said, but he’s still writing. Quite a guy.

It just makes me wonder: if the same thing happened to me, would I remember the last thing I ate, drank or said?

Here’s a follow-up (rebuttal?) by Roger.

… and here he is with his new voice.
