In case you had not heard the news, Patrick Swayze, star of movies such as "Dirty Dancing," "Road House," "Point Break" and the recent A&E series, "The Beast," has succumbed to pancreatic cancer. He was a Hollywood icon and will be greatly missed ....

Not much else was going on today. The wife had the day off, so it was spent working, catching up on a few TV series ("Supernatural" and "Entourage"), and playing some more CrimeCraft (which, btw, is getting new content soon).

We have a few press trips lined up in the next week or two as we ramp up coverage for the holiday season, so be on the lookout for previews and interviews near the end of the month.
