Is on TCM tonight. Lee Marvin, Jack Palance,Jeanne Moreau. One of my favorite westerns, if not my favorite. Written by Jack Schaefer, who also wrote "Shane". A heart breaking movie, about the end of a lifestyle. Get a chance, watch it. You won't be sorry.

    Getting older, and slower. More work, less play. but that is about to change. I'm giving up a lot of my side jobs, for a while, and planning on concentrating on a few of the things I want to do, not things that I have to do all the time. Kids are all gone, got the big house all alone, just Rhonda and me. Everything else is pretty much thte same!

    How about you? Still in OKC?

    Basically, we moved to a 10 acre spot in the country south of the city. It took me 15 years, but I finally got out of the city. I currently work midnights which really sucks, but I have been trying like crazy to find somewhere else.

    The book is fantastic, better than the movie, as they usually are. The movie is pretty drastically different from the book, but still excellent, if taken by itself, and not compared with the book. There are two versions of this movie, the original with Lee Marvin, and Jack Palance, the other with Tom Selleck and Keith Carradine. Both are good, but the Lee Marvin version is far superior, especially in regard to the pathos of the ending of an era, and a lifestyle.
