Who was your tv hero from days gone by?

For me it was Tim Conway. I kept at it and now I can actually walk like his hundred year old man. I say "Norky" a lot.

Tim Conway is an excellent choice and I can see the similarity there, Edgar. Congratulations on a job well done!

When I do the hundred year man walk, it's no longer a simulation.

You will be ok, Edgar. You can't expect to be as spry as me for all time. A man has to know his limitations and deal with them. Your mind is still sharp as a tack even though your walk has been reduced to that of a earthbound sea turtle.

Actually, I get around quite well for 76. And I am midway through writing a cowboy novel. I expect one day readers of the genre will say, "Zane who? Read edgar's cowboy novel instead. It's a ringtailed ripsnorter of a cliched yarn."

I hope your novel can rival "The Ox-Bow Incident", Edgar. A magnificent novel and one worth your challenge.

An exemplary novel, Gus. Mine is not so fine as that, but it does strike out against the Texans' prejudice against Mexicans.

Carry on, my friend. I can only hope and pray for a bestseller. Then, I can say, "I know EdgarBlythe. He is a friend of mine."
The audience will gasp and say things like, "You know Edgar!" and "You must be mistaken! Not EdgarBlythe! The novelist?"
And I will smugly say, "Yes, that very same Edgar. A friend of mine for many years"
And a silence will fall over the community.

Thank you, Gus. I shall endeavor to live up to your expectations. Meantime, I want you to know I consider Fred Mertz the true star of that TV show.

Thank you, Edgar. I am going to send you a Fred Mertz action figure in the very near future.

Howard Gaye "Intolerance" 1916. When he rode into town on that capybara it was prophetic.

Julia Child was my heroine of all time. She could cook away and despite her great physical challenges she would succeed at making something great out of merely two ingredients. She was a great storehouse of recipes that I admired and envied, she didnt often mix em up and when she did she would discover anew fabric or gluestuff
.Early on, because of her talent and drive I wanted to become a chef so I started by becoming a short order cook at a restaurant/Diner between Hollidaysburg nd Altoona Pennsylvania. That didnt work out because, unlike Julia, I had no patience with short ordering as I always tried to shave time by jacking the temperatures and , besides , I had a violent temper so my kitchen wall, That part of the wall over the griddle where they always cover it in polished Aluminum diamond plate, was covered with flung eggs and bits of burnt toast and sausage patties. Julia never told me that you had to start with bacon and eggs, bacon and eggs nd toast, and them goddam home fries . Got so I really hated mornings.

So I started drinking and quit cooking , damn bitch. I soon realized I shoulda watched Dr Phil instead of Julia.
. Im still afraid of clowns and cooking, and Saran Wrap, Im fraid of Saran Wrap.

Glad you were there to listen Gus, by just listening Youve provided the many gram equivalents of half an acre of nepenth.

She was like a big sister.

Eddie Haskell.
He taught me the power of sincerity.
Once you can fake that, Bob's your uncle.
