R.I.P. I loved his roles in James Bond and Happy Gilmore.
All of these write-ups about his death forget to mention The Longest Yard.
"I broke his freakin' neck."
I'd met the guy a few times many years ago through athletics. Very very nice man, RIP.

He lived around your neck of the woods, didn't he?

Pretty close, I was born in that hospital. His son and I played HS sports against each other our whole childhoods, both being from very small towns outside of Fresno.

I know this is the time of year the rains usually move in to the Central Valley. Any drought relief show up yet?

I hope not, we all still have raisins on the ground! We got some very slight showers in East Fresno the other day but it didn't even get the dust off my car. Hopefully in about two weeks we get some flash floods though :woot:
Classic.
And *you* can count, on *me*, waiting for *you* in the parking lot.
Is this your ball? It struck my foot.
