Patrick Swayze — R.I.P.

In the 1980s, I was quite the Patrick Swayze fan, admiring his looks, his physique, and his adequate acting chops.  Although I outgrew that youthful infatuation, in the last few years I’ve become an even bigger fan, since I admired his valiant fight against cancer.  Sadly, the cancer finally won:  Patrick Swayze passed away today, aged 57.
