Sudden RIP to my schoolâs accounts payable clerk. 
I didnât interact with back office people that much, but, she was nice. She taught me how to use the new electronic system to request reimbursement and mileage and stuff.

Just watched the first Laugh-In, on Prime.
âUm, I thought were going to be, uh, laughs, on this Laugh-In showâŠâ
Iâll watch some more, see where it goes.
More subversion, less 1920âs-style silent movie humor, please.
IIRC, Richard Nixon appeared in one episode of Laugh-In.

This piece of trivia was the final question the first time a contestant won $1M on âWho Wants to be a Millionaireâ in the US

He was really good in a much-lauded British miniseries called edge of darkness. Surprised it didnât lead to bigger roles (apart from a small part in Janeâs Bond).
Joe Don Baker played a great bad guy in Charley Varrick
I also think of him from Fletch
