4. Funny story

We were going through my son's school stuff (back in the 1960s; maybe 70s) to throw stuff out at the end of the school year. I think he was 12ish at the time.

He had lots and lots of pictures of this then-young lady ripped from some teen magazine, some pretty salacious.

(Also, Diana Rigg -- Emma Peel from the Avengers. Wowza.)

My wife (in her thick Yiddish accent) looked at the well-loved and wrinkled pictures with distaste, and said "Vell, he's not gay."

I am not sure why this was so damn funny, but it became a family joke.

2. She lived a fairly long life

but it's sad when actors/actresses die. They bring so much happiness to our lives. May she RIP.

3. RIP Barbara Gordon

1960's Batman is still the best Batman IMHO. A lot of great people contributed to that show.
