    Give it time. It took Bob Dukiet’s cousin two years to check in to scold after the R.I.P. thread. (And then someone else followed up a few months later.)

    For some reason I'm reminded of the death of Linda McCartney. It was announced she died in Santa Barbara, but after the coroner there couldn't produce a death certificate after a week, it was revealed she had died in Tucson.

    Whichever hospital it is, it’s only 15 minutes from Tahoe.

    Mary Lou Retton’s battle against a rare form of pneumonia took a “scary setback,” the gymnastic icon’s family revealed in an Instagram post late Wednesday night.
    Retton’s daughter, Shayla Kelly Schrepfer, said in a video posted to Instagram that things seemed like they were headed in a positive direction over the weekend, but things turned on Tuesday.
    “We were so excited, seeing so much progress and then yesterday, we had a pretty scary setback,” Schrepfer said. “She is still in ICU, and we’re just working through some things as far as her setback goes.”
    Schrepfer did not say what exactly happened to cause the setback but did say that Retton had a “better day” on Wednesday and that she was “just really, really exhausted.”
