Also passing away this week was novelist and joke writer (for Fred Allen) Herman Wouk, at age 103. Wouk won the Pulitzer for The Caine Mutiny, authored The Winds of War and War & Remembrance, Marjorie Morningstar, and pioneered fiction about Jewish experiences, paving the way for writers like Phillip Roth. Wouk was in the Naval reserves and served on active duty, in the Pacific, during WW2, which factored into the writing of the Caine mutiny.. Of the film version, he said that Bogart was not how the Queeg was described in his novel; but, Bogey was so good and iconic in the film that he didn't mind that people thought of Bogey more than what he wrote.

ps if you have never seen The Caine Mutiny; watch it! it is a tremendous piece of cinematic drama, with terrific performances form Bogey, Van Johnson, Fred MacMurray, Jose Ferrer, and EG Marshall. If you have only seen MacMurray in My Three Sons or The Absent Minded Professor, you have really missed him playing a heel (and a layered one, here). Also check him out in The Apartment and Double Indemnity.

7? Must have been sick or something. Otherwise, that's kind of young for a cat to check out, unless it gets run over by a car or mauled by the neighbor's Rottweiler.

7? Must have been sick or something. Otherwise, that's kind of young for a cat to check out, unless it gets run over by a car or mauled by the neighbor's Rottweiler. My wife said something about feline urinary disease. It's not uncommon and often a result of additives in the average dry cat food. There are things like magnesium and other fillers that cats can't metabolize and buildup in their urinary system. We had a cat that developed an issue; but, caught it early enough and put her on a diet with specialized cat food. Our other cat had a kidney issue and passed away at 8, as his kidneys deteriorated, over time. It's recommended to give cats wet food or healthier dry cat food and wet, with plenty of water. We give ours Science Diet, which doesn't have the fillers, has a greater nutritional balance, which also means they eat less than with the standard foods, since they get more out of it. It ends up being more economical, despite the higher price, as we don't go through it as fast..

Was just coming to post about Bart Starr. I was too young to have watched him play, but his career was still legend when I was young. Not the flashiest quarterback...Man just won games.
R. I. P. from a long-time Packers fan.

Vaguely aware of Starr, as a kid, though I was never big on football. he was one of those guys that every fan and commentator seemed to respect.

I am old enough to remember Bart Starr as a player. He was universally regarded as one of the very best.

Some YouTube showcasing Bart StarrHere's a link to the ICE BOWL that made him a legendary quarterback. My family and I were Bart Starr fans and I used to wear his jersey Number #15 pretty much all the time when the Packers on TV. I pretty much followed his career from 1967 (I was 8 years old) until he retired in 1971. I have three older brothers that followed his career better and he was a great quarterback with precision passing and great execution. His touchdown and interceptions ratio is not that good and that was the only bad thing about his career of which it was 152 TD to his 138 INT. In our family, he was our favorite NFL quarterback ... followed by Johnny Unitas and Joe Namath back then.
