I grew up in Birmingham, where they made useful things and made them well.

Practically any Western has a homesteader in trouble, and a mysterious rider shows up off the range, solves the problem over two or three days, and then rides off into the sunset.

I love Italian food but that's too generic a term for what's available now: you have to narrow it down to Tuscan, Sicilian, and so on.

Don't get it right - get it WRITTEN!

Never forget a Favor, Never forgive a Slight!

I don't want to put the world to rights... I just don't like people who put the world to wrongs.

I had a brief theater background and loved the backstage world there's more backstage work in television, so I saw a job advertised and applied, and got it. That was back in 1977, when getting jobs was easy.
