Bob was also Chris Elliot's dad. Chris started out as the guy under the stairs on Letterman, then went on to star in a series and a movie or two, including Cabin Boy. Bob played his father in both Cabin Boy and the series.

I forgot about that. He was also in "Groundhog Day", which was discussed here yesterday for some mysterious reason.

Middle-aged American white men are now facing declining life expectancy. For a number of reasons, mostly due to bad life style and risky choices. Anybody care to speculate when this 'trend' will reverse?

I am seeing large numbers of incredibly obese children up here in Canada-land. I believe the numbers are worse in the USA. If I had to guess, I would bet on life expectancy continuing to decline.

Sad, tragic. Whaddya do?

Well... I mow my lawn barefoot.

Risky green feet.
