Sad news today.  Elisabeth Sladen lost her battle with cancer today.  She will, of course, forever be remembered as Sarah Jane Smith… greatest of the companions, and to be honest, a bit of an adolescent crush.  My apologies to Ms. Sladen as accurate portraiture is not amongst my skills, but this is how I always remember her… in those goofy overalls of that yellow slicker!

I must admit that the news came as a surprise… it just never occurred to me that she would die any time soon.  Score yet another point for Kirk, I guess…

Here’s to you, Ms. Sladen.  Thank you.  Rest in peace.
