Oh, that was not supposed to be a reply. In the words of President Obama, "OH, WELL."

Wow, when I read the title of this post I thought LeVar Burton had died and I almost started crying.

I thought the same thing too! For a second I thought Geordi was gone. That was a horrible, horrible second.

I am surprised how sad I am considering that I thought Reading rainbow had been cancelled years ago.

Shit, I had no idea Reading Rainbow was even still on the air! Just like the song says, you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone. I'll miss you, LeVar, but...don't take MY word for it!
