The Deaths in 2018 site lists under February 9:

• Reg E. Cathey, 59, American actor (The Wire, House of Cards, Fantastic Four), Emmy winner (2015), lung cancer.

• Reginald Eugene Cathey(August 18, 1958 – February 9, 2018)

First of all, his surname is another addition to the  “Remove a Letter Makes a Word/Name” pattern cluster... as in remove an “e” makes Cathy— the name of my life partner.  As well, her surname cropped up three times in the last few days, note from my previous post:

• Michele Lee as Carole Bennet, Jim's love interest   

 The character surname “Bennet” stands out given the following from my February 6 post, Blood:

In the info sidebar of  MacLean’s wiki page are two notable persons who each have “Bennett” in their surnames... and my life partner’s surname being Bennett... 

• William Bennett Campbell (August 27, 1943 – September 11, 2008)
• Gordon Lockhart Bennett (October 10, 1912 – February 11, 2000) 

 Reg Cathey’s date of birth together with the August 20th birthday of my father, generates an “August 18, __, 20/ Date Sequence” pattern-cluster.  Bridging the August 19 gap we use the formula  as per usual... and taking into consideration the “one off” curve ball we arrive at:

• 2001 – Donald Woods (15 December 1933 – 19 August 2001) journalist, activist 

His name stands out given the following from my recent February 8 posts, Mac Fail  :

• Don Wood (March 22, 1933 – July 7, 2015) 

A first AND last name Doppleganger!!  And remember the cryptic communication “dawn wood/would”.  Donald Woods birthday together with the birthday of my younger sister — December 14; and my car crash of December 13 in 2000 (pivotal event that enabled me to become aware of the inner twin world for the first time), generates a “December 13, 14, 15/Date Sequence” pattern-cluster.

There are two other names that recently cropped up that seem to connect with this cryptic communication:

• 1999 – David Strickland (October 14, 1969 – March 22, 1999) actor
• 1999 – DeForest Kelley (January 20, 1920 – June 11, 1999)  actor,  screenwriter 

And given the obvious “Wood Theme” pattern-cluster, and given the title of my previous post re: Fog Bog, determines the title of this post: Log.  Note the etymology:

• log (n.1)... Old Norse had lag "felled tree" (from stem of liggja "to lie," hence "a tree that lies prostrate")...
