That's quite a coup.

You could do worse than Nana.  It'll give you the general idea.

I AM THE ONE WHO … oh, wait.  Never mind.

It's an old, old storey.

Ah, Patrick Malahide.  In one week, I saw him play a detective inspector, an adulterous used car salesman, and an ex-gangster, and he was totally believable in all three roles.  Love the man.  Not quite enough to stick The Singing Detective yet (given as I am to skin problems), but maybe someday.  

With all the old videos of just about everything that's ever been played on tv or at the movies, why hasn't anyone as yet uploaded any Louis the Wonder Dog videos?  How can he be lost forever when he was on Carson, prime time variety shows, and daytime shows as well?

He played Jerry Lewis, but I'm not sure how to classify that role.

Has the U.S. ever produced a comedy like The Brittas Empire?  I don't recall one.

Not weird—painful.

Eternal woman, then.

How typical.  A woman works at home yet it isn't considered real work.

You could try Midsomer Murders.  A lovely bucolic area with a murder rate that rivals that of Chicago.

You'd enjoy listening to BBC Radio programs with British actors who think all Americans sound like either Scarlett O'Hara or Tony Soprano.

But not Dan Brown—he cedes the high ground (so to speak) to Clive Cussler.  Not by much.  Maybe it's just a slight mound rather than high ground.

This sounds like the book I mentioned above.  I thought it was something like Night Games. 
Whatever.  The "hero" was the first Navy SEAL or something, and he was killing all the drug dealers in the neighborhood.

So this is what happened to Blair Underwood's character from High Incident.

The one book of Clancy's I've read (it was sent to me by a friend who said it was a really great book), maybe it was titled Night Games?  Something like that, anyway, it struck me how similar it was to all the "manly" books where the women characters are there just to die so the hero has an excuse for going on a

With the untimely demise of Tom Clancy, the Undead Abe Vigoda gains another year or more.

So—you try to figure out what's going on with the Astros?
