I heard that Dom Deluise passed away yesterday. I was always a fan of his screwball-like comedic antics, so I felt a little sad to hear of his death. I also thought about the tv series, Stargate SG-1. Why, you ask? Amazing how the brain makes connections from seemingly unrelated topics. If you aren't a Stargate SG-1 fan like I am, you probably won't know that Mr. Deluise starred in an episode called "Urgo." And you probably also don't know that he has three sons, all of whom either produced, directed or acted in the Stargate series. The "Urgo" episode is a good one, and it allowed Dom Deluise to do what he did best - make people laugh. I will miss him, and it still pains me that Stargate SG-1 ended its run after 10 seasons...at least there are reruns!
The library has quite a few books related to Stargate, and even (surprise!) a few titles related to Dom Deluise.
