Danger, Will Robinson . . . “Robot” R.I.P.

Bob May, who donned The Robot's suit in the hit 1960s television show "Lost in Space," has died. He was 69.

His line to one of the children, "Danger, Will Robinson," became a national catch phrase.

One of my favorite programs growing up and “The Robot” was always one of our fun Halloween costumes made out of cardboard boxes and other items found around our neighborhood. I guess this starts to date our lives as more of these actors are sick or have died these last couple of years.

Those were simpler times . . . no ipod or xbox to occupy your time, just a stick and your imagination to fight off the bad guys and explore new worlds. Where did those times go as we advanced technology without holding on to the things that made us who we are?

It was a stable day at the hospital with my daughter mostly sleeping as her medicine worked and we await more tests. She will see a gastroenterologist hopefully tomorrow for more exams to see why her stomach does not empty the food and starts her throwing up every few minutes. They now think that may be a secondary condition brought on by something else. It’s a guessing game right now but not as severe as last year.

Simpler times . . . They weren’t so bad.
