Newman's Own

I felt it was necessary to offer a few thoughts on the passing of Paul Newman...

I remember saying to Kristi a few weeks ago, "Baby, Paul Newman is probably going to die soon." When it came down to brass tacks, this guy put his money where his mouth was.

How many realize that this guy took out a full page ad after feeling he performed poorly in a film...apologizing to audience members, and basically promising the best was yet to come.

Maybe it'll help to explain that my two computers are named Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid.

Maybe it'll help to explain that a career like Paul Newman's is why people like me happily continue to struggle and fight.

So. Here's to you, Butch, Luke, Hud, Fast Eddie - it has been, and will always be a pleasure to view your work, and continue to enjoy your legacy.
