An email that reads: Re: And just to push my luck... Re: the Einstein drawing... I would have to ask Peter if he has the original handy and if he wants me to get a print made. Usually he okays these requests. Do you want me to pursue it? Let me know. Thank you. Laurie

A print of Peter Falk’s Einstein sketch in a black frame.

Great interview. The Einstein drawing Peter mentions was on his art website, but wasn’t on sale as a print, so I asked if there was any chance of getting one run off. A couple of months later, he dug it out. (Never got a Don Shula, though.)

You might enjoy these quotes from Falk talking in general about Columbo's "reaching into pockets" business. (In that same interview he told me about directing "Blueprint for Murder" and getting help from Cassavetes and Spielberg.)

A TEEN????

J'ai lu l'annual dans le train, le cassage de bras est une double page, lorsque je me suis retrouvé dessus en tournant la page, j'ai crié !
Très très vnr le Warren Johnson, ça fait vraiment du bien !

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID

Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

Disneys Skeleton Dance remake.

This is good, worthy, and inspiring, particularly if, like me, you are #T1D

A tiny little floofy white dog that looks like it weighs five pounds sopping wet sits very polite looking slightly nervous in a little clear raincoat with blue pipping. Next to a foot ignore the foot

I know it’s not a fashionable opinion to defend the use of huge amounts of land for golf courses. However, cooncil golf is/was basically a different sport from posh golf. Been taken away, almost completely, from the working classes. It shouldn’t just be for folk with a few quid and tourists.

“Drool, baby, drool!”

BBC really burying the lede there

Reagan’s finding it all very amusing

A family photo outside a small hotel in Bournemouth, 1972.

Close up of a comic book of Garrison’s Gorillas from the first photo.

I can’t remember if I ever saw the show, but I know I was reading the comic book a few years later on holiday on the south coast of England.

Ellis: "The unlawful activity by a few protesters does not transform a peaceful assembly into an unlawful assembly."

Your morning read.

Joey Barton’s lawyer questioning Lucy Ward about his posts likening her and Eni Aluko to Fred and Rose West. Just about the most perfect response I have heard in a very long time.

Such a rollicking good film and then my chest nearly burst with grief at the end the first time I saw it. I'll spoil no further, but bloody hell. Magnificent stuff.

What in the SING 3 hell is this thing

Nigel Bruce looking chuffed to bits by a bunny rabbit inside an Easter egg. Or possibly a cabbage.

Will get right on it after bunny's bedtime.

I remember getting so caught up in it that I totally forgot about the framing device until moments before we came back around to it, so it still landed beautifully for me.

All we know for sure is this roll was well-fired.
