"Another name on the Wall" in the subject line refers to a macabre tradition I have: when someone whose career I have followed since my youth passes away, I write their name on a wooden plank on my bedroom wall in the following manner:
Eartha Kitt 1927-2008

May she rest in peace. You're right, neo, there have been quite a few this year that saddened my heart as well.
