She was 90 years old.

Maybe the news was that her son found out about it.

I was just passing on someone else's mistake apparently.

You must be using my wife's Facebook account for news. There isn't a week that goes by where she says that someone has died, and I'll say "I thought they died a few years ago." Sure enough, it's an old story that someone pops up as new.

I think whoever reported this to Bob as "recent news" is a dingbat.

So, Mrs. Spiff and I are driving home from dinner tonight, and she's checking her smart phone. She said "Jean Stapleton died!"

I said, "Where are you seeing that?"

She said "On the Facebook news feed."



I said, "Yes, I heard that she died. I heard that three years ago."

She, too, wonders why she gets these "news" stories years after the fact as current news.
