   Gras as in “fois gras”, a goose liver pate.
   If they had fed him to the leader of a group of cannibals, it could have been “McHale to the Chief”.

   Eh, the references today are much less obscure than yesterdays.

   Why does he keep saying the cultural references are out-dated? They seem fine to me.

   Marty was the best movie! I caught it by accident on TCM once and I had to have it in my collection. i think I watch it at least once every couple of months. Sigh!

    I think today was Mr. Borgnine’s birthday.
    TCM had several of his movies this morning.

    No, we are still within our “expiration dates” and I’m as fresh as I’ve ever been. BTW, good luck with the VA; they’ve taken good care of me (e-mail if you may need some pointers on “relating” with VA, see my profile for address).
