Richard Libertini…Who??
Sunday, September 21st, 2008
Okay, okay, I’ll be the first to admit that Richard Libertini does not exactly possess a household name as of yet. But I’m betting that most of you recognize him in the photo at right. That’s from All of Me and he’s the guy who played the swami Prahka who continuously repeated ‘bakinbol, bakinbol’ – interpreted as ‘back in bowl.’ He was also the ever-exasperated Frank, boss to Chevy Chase’s Fletch. And then there was his role as Sidney in Robert DeNiro’s Awakenings. And his two appearances in The Bob Newhart Show, once as a doctor and once as psychotic patient Mr. Twillmer. So as you can see, it shouldn’t surprise you that Richard Libertini’s resume spans forty years and well over a hundred various roles in film and television. Read the rest of this entry »
On the same day that this website turned two years old, the significantly more important event of my nephew Adam turning two took place. Since September 13 fell on a Saturday, we were able to have a party for him on his actual birthday. Denise and Aaron decided to hold the soiree at my Mom’s place in Franklin, only inviting the immediate family to celebrate. After running some errands – including getting Adam’s gift – I picked up my Grandpa that afternoon around 4:30 and we headed out to the Chandler estate, while I regaled him with the tunes of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. 
Bob and I didn’t have to get up too ungodly early on the morning of Tuesday, July 29, 2008. We were staying at the Red Roof Inn in Canton, Ohio and they didn’t serve a continental breakfast, so we were up and on our way by about quarter of nine. Mom would have been disappointed that we chose such a place with no mornin’ eats. The First Ladies Museum didn’t open until 10am, so we had time to make a couple of pit stops on the way. The second one was McDonalds. 
I don’t talk about work a whole lot on my website, unless it is something dramatically significant – like a job switch or friends who I have made through work. I enjoy my job and am thankful for it, but the day-to-day activities wouldn’t hold much interest to the average reader – and of course, there’s always the risk of saying something stupid and getting fired! But seriously, the second week of September saw a couple of work-related events actually worth reporting.
