Sometimes Nothing Can Be A Pretty Cool Hand

Boy, I got vision, and the rest of the world wears bifocals.

Sad news today: Paul Newman has passed away.

He was a real movie star... turning in classic performances more consistently than most. An artist in the truest sense of the word.

I never met him, but I almost worked at the Hole in the Wall Camp after graduating from college, and did sit a few rows away from him during a play at Wesleyan.

Many of my generation (and younger) think of him as the "Newman's Own Guy." It's sad that we young'uns caren't as familiart with his performances as we should be... But adding a philanthropic, high quality, and good tasting food company to a filmography like his? I have to ask: Is that such a bad legacy to have?

We should be so lucky.

Enjoy a classic scene, in just about the right mood. It's quiet, so crank up the volume.



'Wait a minute - you didn't see Lefors out there did you?'

'Lefors? No, why?'

'Thank God for that. For a moment there I thought we were in trouble.'
