Sad day in Wally World
One of the Walton children, John, 58, died yesterday shortly after takeoff of his ultralight in Jackson Hole, WY. He was 7th on the Forbes list of richest Americans. He was a decorated war veteran winning a Silver Star in Vietnam.
John Walton dies
Anne Bancroft, most notably Mrs. Robinson in "The Graduate", also passed away at 73 of uterine cancer. Among her notable portrayals: a potential suicide in "The Slender Thread"; Mary Magdalene in Franco Zeffirelli's miniseries "Jesus of Nazareth"; actress Madge Kindle in "The Elephant Man"; Anthony Hopkins' pen pal in "84 Charing Cross Road"; feminist U.S. senator in "G.I. Jane"; the Miss Havisham role in a modernized "Great Expectations."
Anne Bancroft passes
Just wanted to get those out of the way. Gotta pay your respect for the dead.
The cats are great, but they like getting up at 4 am. And crawl all over J and I. Mostly J. And if we close the door, then they howl and scratch until we open it. I don't know what the solution is, but we need to find it.
We might be going to Frankie's Fun Park tonight. They're a typical go karts/putt putt/arcade type place, but they have what I'll call "intermediate" go karts. They're not the kiddie karts but they're also not the really fast go kart, but they can slide like nobodies business. Since I am currently limited to front wheel action, whenever I have the chance to slide, I take it. Whether it be heavy rain, snow, oil slicks, I try and enjoy it. (although I've only tried it in snow) But all it really takes to get these things slideways is a quick feint, or just a sharp jerk in the direction that you wanna go and the back wheels come on around.
