      So many great quotes from “The Natural”.

      Agree. I even got a chuckle at his spokesman role in promoting awareness of diebeetus.

      RIP

      Great in The Natural.

      Great roles in The Electric Horseman and Absence of Malice, as well. Loved his acting. RIP

      Bob, what flies under the radar regarding that quote from “Absence  of Malice” is the remarkably successful career of the the buffoonish attorney Eliot Rosen actor Bob Balban.  He has been prolific at every aspect of the acting/producing arena and in both movies and television.  He was nominated for an Oscar as producer in Gosford Park.

        Bob Balaban in A Mighty Wind…genius.

      Damn! I loved Wilford. I still eat oatmeal every day and often pop a chubby that I like to whip out and show to the family. Haha.  I considered Wilford a modern Mark Twain. He reminded me of my uncle. He wasn’t afraid to speak his mind to anyone at any time.

        Does that in any way explain why the family is living the good life in Texas while you’re hanging out in a trailer in the desert?

          Naw.  I was just too young to retire to tap my 401k without the tax penalties.  I will be 59.5 years old on the 7th of August.  I retire on the 31st of August.  Four more weeks!
