Fashionable Pick Dies

One of the most prominent fashion designers of the 20th century, Yves Saint Laurent, died in Paris on Sunday. Laurent had been battling brain cancer for nearly a year. He was 71.

Laurent is the first of my picks to pass this year. And while I may be late in joining the party it is nice to be here. The 29 points are not only my first of 2008 they jump me into third place. That's not as good as the Mt. Pilot Moonshine in fantasy baseball, but I'll take it.
