52 years ago this past week, America got a gift to help the 1960s finally begin.
Abe Vigoda passed away this week. His performance as Sal Tessio in "The Godfather" was excellent. Imagine being led away to a turncoat's death and still being able to say, "Tell Mike it was only business. I always liked him." Then, when he asks consiglieri Tom Hagen to "get him off the hook, for old times' sake, Tom says, "Can't do it, Sally." This reminds me of the Beatles' song "Long Tall Sally," and the fact that Sal Tessio is the tallest "Sally" I ever knew.
It certainly is a "privledge" to see how well Mr Brady can spell "alot" of the words he uses.
Mugs for grammar lovers. What a "grate" idea!
It must be fun to check into a hotel and find that your outfit perfectly matches your surroundings. It's like being a chameleon!

The burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) is a small, long-legged owl found throughout open landscapes of North and South America. Notice the genus "athene." Athene was the Greek goddess of wisdom. And that's why we call owls "wise." And they don't give a hoot!
I remain obsessed with the musical talent of Phil Spector, who gave us such great music back in the day. But his personal demons took him away from all that and led him to the prison hospital ward where he is living out his life. This picture was taken at the top of his fame and success. How sad that his music wasn't enough for him to be happy. I listen to it all the time; I just have to separate the music from the man.
In Baltimore, we got enough snow last weekend to allow for all sorts of creativity. Notice the attention to detail in this Snoopy tribute...the artist took a quick "paws" as he/she finished up...
