  1. My favorite photograph of Mike Wallace: c:\users\arooney\my_documents\mikesnewtrousers.jpg
  2. Any man who owns more than one brand of cologne is not a man I'd like to know.
  3. The fragrance industry rakes in billions of dollars every year, but none of them smell any good at all.
  4. For my money, the best popcorn on the market is ACTII microwave popcorn. It cooks up in a couple of minutes, and most of the kernels pop.
  5. There are too many brands of popcorn. Orville Redenbacher, Jolly Time, Jiffy Pop, Pop Weaver, Pop Secret, and Newman's Own are just a few.
  6. Miss you, Don.
  7. Don Hewitt intimidated his subordinates and cowered before his superiors. He was a petty man who got where he was through sheer luck.
  8. Don's one wish was to be a television great. Instead he ended up surrounded by them. It ate him up inside and probably gave him cancer.
  9. Don never bragged about it, but he played in one inning for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He held the bat upside down and stood facing the catcher.
  10. Don's wife once came on to me by the pay phones at Tavern on the Green. I never told him. I suppose I should have, but he'd have hit her.
  11. Mike Wallace once wanted to do a story on puppy mills. Don Hewitt shot him down. I think Don ran a puppy mill.
  12. Ate my first solid meal in a while today. I had gotten used to the Ensure. Chocolate was good. Vanilla, too. Never tried strawberry.
  13. Don Hewitt is dead. I once borrowed a dollar from him for the vending machine. Never paid him back. I feel guilty for it, but I win.
  14. Most people my age are no longer alive. My visiting nurse tries to be positive, but I know what she claims not to: I'm in the home stretch.
  15. They're amazing, walls. They hold up the roof, but they're also handy for hanging pictures. I like that.
  16. Lately, I've been sleeping all day and staying up all night. Sometimes I read; mostly I sit an an old upright chair and stare at the wall.
  17. @tonistable You give us too much credit. The fact is that the news is run by children who don't know what they're doing. Like Couric.
  18. I really like Thanksgiving, mostly for the pies. I enjoy pumpkin pie as much as I hate mincemeat pie. All of the fruit pies are good too.
  19. Just because he was marginally talented and very popular for a while, his suicide doesn't warrant the kind of coverage it's been getting.
  20. Haven't we had enough coverage of this Michael Jackson story? People die of drug overdoses every day, and it's their own fault.
