I know that there is many a thing and issue more important than this and I should, at this moment, be painting, a deadline being in the offing; and cleaning, as I have company coming, which is, of course, both good and bad: Nice to see friends come/Awful to have one's everyday life disrupted. In any case, it's the birthday anniversary of an old film actor, one whose movies were a part of my life's landscape.  He'd be 104 today, had he not died years ago.  
Ah well...
