As much as it is a testament to the Grace of God that I just
so HAPPENED to remember the film "Network" [which I have yet to see
in its entirety] on the very same day as Sidney Lumet was borne, [as I only
learned minutes prior to this moment] it is a testament to the Godlessness of
Google that they did not wish him a Happy Birthday. Hm. May be you have to
croak first.
Adding to the beauty of this moment is my memory of the time
there was only one chair available at Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers and the man
to my right (whose sentiments are of a similar leaning to the protagonist of
Network) shared a birthday with mine [as well as a conversation spanning hours
in that one night I knew him]. And that thought occurred to me too before I saw
Lumet's birth-date.
Dm.A.A.
