(Unannounced and not testifying, she was there as an observer.) I have no idea why I looked to the row behind me but, after I did, it was hard for me to keep my eyes off Remick, even in her obviously plain clothing, and with little makeup. I was attending as an associate for a firm client. In 1988, near the end of her life and in her early fifties, Remick sat in the row behind me during hearings in the Rayburn Building. She lit up rooms without smiling, moving or gesturing. Although she is best known for her roles in two iconic movies, Days of Wine and Roses and The Omen, she worked both stage and screen during her busy career, which started at the age of 18.
She studied acting and dance as a teenager and continued with drama at both Barnard College and at the Actor's Studio in New York City. Born this day in Quincy, Massachusetts in 1935, Remick was 5'8", with amber hair and stunning blue eyes. If she were alive today, she would only be 79 and, I like to think, still working.

One theme of Douglas's book is the importance of giving, and other acts of kindness, without wanting or expecting any type of private or public recognition.įresco of St. Douglas, which twice was made into a movie. Nicholas was a major inspiration for Magnificent Obsession, the acclaimed 1929 novel by Lloyd C. Anonymous giving, by the way, is the best kind. After he died, the area around Myra became a major pilgrimage center dotted with new churches, including a church named after Nicholas, which is still popular with visitors to this region of Turkey. This Byzantine trust-fund baby entered the clergy, and became popular for his kindness, generosity, willingness to take on Rome on behalf of Myra, the town he served, and many instances of anonymous and secret gift-giving that his fortune made possible. Both of Nicholas's parents died during an outbreak of the plague, leaving him a great sum of money. The Bishop of Myra-or Santa Claus to most of the world-lived around 270-345 AD in what is now the Lycian region of Turkey. He is based on a real and really admirable guy. A word about the real Santa, however, is in order, and we are happy to report that the real Santa is not a misty pagan or Druid hangover, as is so often the case with Christmas lore.

So what? Congrats that you can take up space on my planet. Any human being should and would do the same. The boy in the story? I'm not impressed or moved by him in the least.

Me: Tough if erudite and well-traveled irreverent fearless aggressive formerly hard-drinking trial lawyer with enough sand, energy and moxie to alter the outcome of 6 Superbowls. I will quickly regret writing this-99% sure I'll delete it-but this story had tears streaming down my face before I was halfway though reading it. Anyway, here's a Facebook post I did this morning about this article: He didn't die alone: Boy carries neglected dog for half mile, stays by his side which appeared in something called the Examiner based in Denver:Īnimals have souls. And I certainly haven't figured out why I'm on Facebook yet. I've never been an early adopter of anything digital except to get work done when co-workers are in different time zones. I don't watch much television but I do have Facebook going on all day-often when I am work-even though I still distrust the often-shallow and culturally illiterate Wild West Show that is the Internet.
Animals have as much heart and soul as some kid on a bike. A dog, not a boy, is the hero of this story.
