My mom has a huge obsession with Sally Kellerman(I know. Weird, huh?) and I was reminding her about that movie when we heard the news.elasticwaistbandladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12643871078268503643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-22894378388390574922007-04-12T23:24:00.000+01:002007-04-12T23:24:00.000+01:00Hi hoHi hojams o donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315325008175184363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-15631254053449661142007-04-12T23:19:00.000+01:002007-04-12T23:19:00.000+01:00So it goes.So it goes.Agneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427327588753930703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-62616059117368907892007-04-12T21:56:00.000+01:002007-04-12T21:56:00.000+01:00I never heard this NPR broadcast.

But most of all I shall remember an interview broadcast on NPR a few years ago, in which the ancient Vonnegut dismantled the Bush administration's rationalizations for its war in Iraq. Vonnegut displayed a verbal skill that took my breath away, a virtuosity intact despite his age. If I am cursed with living that long... unlikely... I want to live as fully as he did, to the end.<BR/><BR/><I>Rented a tent... a tent... a tent...</I>Steve Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07587223243120009776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-2372931761794443542007-04-12T20:09:00.000+01:002007-04-12T20:09:00.000+01:00I had no idea he was in Back to School.. but then ...I had no idea he was in Back to School.. but then again I know that the film starred Rodney Dangerfield and little else!
