And it was nice seeing the lead from last year's unjustly canceled comedy OUT OF PRACTICE as Betty's potential new boy friend.


Christopher Gorham

Recurring roles in "Popular", "Felicity", "Odyssey5".

Before "Out of Practice he had his own series "Jake 2.0"

I saw John Gabriel as part of my cabaret series last year. Unfortunatly I cannot recommend the show. I felt  is was one of the wealkest performers I have seen in the last five years or so if not the weakest. His signing voice is not strong and the show is a mess. What it needed was a stronger director and perhaps ditching the film clips which did not add anything and were a distraction. I know he recorded for BK, but I had no desire to buy his cd or stay for act two of the show. From the reaction of the people around I wasn't the only one who felt this way.

Just read:

Actor Arthur Hill is dead, starred on T-V as 'Owen Marshall'

He appeared in the original cast of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe.
Film appearances include The Andromeda Strain and Futureworld. He was also the first murder on Murder She Wrote and his character came back ten years later only to become a victim.

He died from Alzheimer disease.  He last acted back in 1990.

How can you get any more handsome than the black and white headshot of the more mature John Gabriel (that I can't seem to find anymore!)

Something like this:


Found on his Hofstr U website.

Mmmmmmm...Hofstra....I like him even more!

Hofstra has been a big supporter of our Sacco and Vanzetti film and that's where it had its very first screening.

Page eight octopus head dance...

In a lovely restaurant in Venice (Italy) I ordered octopus, expecting a varient on calamari.

Instead I was presented to a plate occupied a large almost-still-pulsating creature:

Sigh...these reminiscences of foreign gustatory explorations:

Mountain top cafe in Greece - I noticed a man relishing dipping large chunks of bread into a bowl of what I presumed was melted cheese. "I'll try what he has", says I.  I later was presented with my own loaf of bread and a bowl of warm curdled goat's milk.

Seedy out-of-the-eatery in Lisbon:

The local butcher shop had a small dining area where we took dinner. (I wish I had noticed that the "pepper corn" encrusted shank of beef hanging from a hook was actually covered in black flies.

While we (two other Naval Academy Midshipmen and I, in uniform) waited for our meal, I noticed a "colorful local" making like a mad chemist with pitchers and bowls and bottle at distant table. The waiter later brought us each a huge beverage mug which "had been made in our honor". It was white wine and milk sweetened with sugar.

Had I known that later that afternoon we would have been "further" honored by being led into the local bull ring to "give a try" at wrestling a young bull, I would have asked for seconds.

Under the Bull Ring stands, there were a multitude of ting vendor stalls selling glasses of Vino. After you drained the wine, the glass was left with lots of dregs - think a glass tumbler recently emptied of purple buttermilk :(

Arthur Hill was one of my favorite actors.  

Had a nice little recording session with Grant, then we went out to eat, and boy did we eat.  I shall now be a very good boy for the next three or four days.

I guess Michael Shayne is still thinking about my book.  I guess he didn't care for it, but he's the first, so that's good.

For the record:

I have enjoyed the first story.
I am enjoying the second story.

This is the High School 50th Reunion weekend, so I shall not get much reading done.

UGLY BETTY was thoroughly delightful tonight. I just love the nephew who was going out for Halloween as Gene Kelly in ON THE TOWN. This is a show that knows one segment of its audience extremely well! Funny and had some touching moments, too. WOnderful show.

And it was nice seeing the lead from last year's unjustly canceled comedy OUT OF PRACTICE as Betty's potential new boy friend.

Christopher Gorham...he's a cutie! ;) And before "Out of Practice," he was in (the also short-lived) "Jake 2.0."
