Now this woman may not be on your radar but she was a terrific tennis player and honestly, I just like saying her name. Evonne Goolagong!! What a name!! I'd like you to meet my friend, Miss Evonne Goolagong.......
If we had ever hooked up in real life and decided to get hitched, I would have insisted on being called Mr. Goolagong!! No No, I'll change Evonne....Mr. Goolagong!! :lol:

Today is also Ted Cassidy's birthday. He was in a lot of movies, but I'll always remember him as Lurch!

He was fantastic in that series which was as a whole a superb show and cast. :lol:

Ted as RUK in Star Trek made a lasting impression with me.....

Hey Ho! J-O! how are things away from ATX? You ever read the story of the Essex that inspired MD? really a chilling tale. Good to find you bro.
Pretty good. It's been raining all week here. Almost unheard of in those parts mid-summer.

I'd say the thing I miss most about Austin is Veggie Heaven. I do not miss the wail of sirens 24/7. It was six weeks before I heard one following the move, and I jumped a little.

I knew about the Essex in reference to the novel, but have never sat down to read an authoritative account. I should make a point to do that.

How are you?

Great! Yeah Nathaniel Philbrick's book on it the essex is Fantastic! I read it at BookPeople Gratis ;) .....A true austin slacker(me, not NP) who, like most of them, lives somewhere else now. BTW Slacker is now up on Hulu. :twisted: peace and love and all that hippie shit :peace:
 
What a classic Moby Dick is.

Okay, today, I'm picking a fav of mine....... Myrna Loy. She's up there as a classic actress from the past. Only Irene Dunne tops her in my book, if only because Irene had a knockout voice to boot.
But it's Myrna's B-Day so move over Irene (push)....

I like all the all the classic beauties you come up with.:clap: Makes me wonder why so many girls go to such extremes for it..

I'll say happy birthday to Frederic Auguste Bartholdi today.
