Poor Dick Clark

I know that Dick Clark suffered a stroke a couple years ago. I am probably also one year behind with this observation, but I did not watch Dick Clark's New Years Rockin' Eve last year. He has had a long fight back from the stroke to learn how to speak, walk, etc. His progress since the stroke is truly admiriable.

However, it was really sad to watch Dick Clark on TV last night. I have all these memories from his days as a game show host or on his New Years Eve show, and it was difficult to watch him struggle through his brief pieces on ABC's special last night and mess up the countdown of the final few seconds of 2006.

I admire his determination to continue his New Years special, but I hope he decides to step away from his show in the future and maybe just add a couple of pre-recorded pieces (since he should still be a part of any New Years Eve TV special as long as he is still alive).
