I just heard the sad news that Paul Newman has died of cancer. He was one of my favorite of the "old-time" actors and Cool Hand Luke remains one of the best movies ever, in my opinion. Not to mention, he was hot as HELL, even as an old dude. RIP, Paul.

I started to blog this very same thing, and what is a little weird is that I was going to use the same picture (the first one) you used. But how about that e. e. cummings poem. What, did he write that this morning?

I hadn’t heard this yet. What a sexy man Paul was. Thanks for the tribute to a great actor and family man.

I say, that as a memorial, we all eat 50 hard boiled eggs.
Just like Cool Hand Luke!

Joyce: That poem was the first thing that popped into my head when I heard the news about Paul. But I’m a weird English major.
Todd: Nobody can eat 50 eggs. Except, of course, Cool Hand Luke.

Herb, I kind of knew you would comment on the poem. Of course…the apple not falling far from the tree, and all that.

The cummings poem is eerily perfect.
(I wish I’d thought of it. You are obviously a better Weird English Major than I.)
