Three quick things.

First, I wasn’t planning to write another post today but had an overpowering urge to share these photos with you after reading news reports for the last few days about that maniac terrorist in Norway.

I don’t know if you agree with me or not, but I think this scary Norwegian dude could double for “Saturday Night Live” alumni Chevy Chase, pictured above left circa 1975. I’m just saying.

Second, Sam and I watched a really crappy movie on TCM yesterday — Island of Love from 1963 with Robert Preston, Tony Randall and Walter Matthau. Robert Preston apparently was expected to recreate a character like con-man Harold Hill from The Music Man, a role for which he won both a Tony and a Golden Globe. Here he was miscast and way too old, Tony Randall was completely wasted as a useless drunk, and Walter Matthau played an effeminate Greek gangster with a lisp. Seriously.

Third, here’s a photo that embraces perfectly the concept of “aging badly.” Actress Patty Duke is 64 — four years older than ME — but looks twice my age and prunier than my mother, who will celebrate her 89th birthday in November. Patty has really nice veneers on her teeth, though.

Thank you for reading this.
