Prince Rainier dies; the Family Stone
Prince Rainier of Monaco has died. Good luck to Prince Albert.

More proof of what a dummy I am: Driving yesterday, it just occured to me that the Stone in "Sly and the Family Stone" is the family name, a la "The Brothers Karamozov." The archaic phrasing threw me. I used to think "family" was possessive, as in "the family dog," like they owned a stone or something.
How can you read a blog by someone who for years labored under such nonsense?
