Some observations regarding various and sundry items.

A couple of real good actors:
1. Robert Duvall - No explanation needed, but I'll say this anyway; he can play regular people, and that's as rare a commodity as there is in the movie bidness.
Besides that, he was just as much of a son to the Don as Sonny or Mike were; and probably more so than 'Fredo. He even wrote and recorded some of the songs for the Tender Mercies soundtrack and they're pretty good...Is he RGNC material? Maybe we should get some of our left coast people on this...
2. Chris Cooper - Again, a regular guy. Not only that, he's from K.C. and he plays the fiddle...hmmm...did you see him in Seabiscuit?

Thanks to Joe Distefano for introducing me to Angus MacCranky's Black Bog Stout. Joe is quite the connoseuer of suds, and keeps bringing me all of these cool microbrews to try, and this one was emminently enjoyable. Last week we tried Angus MacCranky's Arse Thunder Ale, also a top contender.

Mr. Wilson, what took you to Nash-wood? Is it something you can talk about, or have the records been sealed?

Peace.
