Longtime colleague David Dunlap Jr and his wife Wendy were graced with a baby boy last Sunday. At a hospital. Shows how out of it I am, I thought they could do this stuff online these days! His name is David Lawrence Dunlap III, but he’s been referred to as “Trey Dog” during phone conversations. Everyone is healthy. I’m making Dunlap promise that he’ll never wear one of those reverse baby backpacks, the “I carried him there for nine months, now you’re going to do it!!” accessories (let’s just call it “The Badge Of The Broken Man”) that are a common sight amongst ReadyMade Magazine subscribers. All joking aside, Mom, Dad, and Baby are doing great, and that’s cause for celebration.

Love Letters (1984) - I was trying to drift off. Showtime knew this and threw some James Keach through the tube!! Where can you go wrong with The Lesser Keach, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Bud Cort? EVERYWHERE. Our Best Celebrity Sibling drives a Porsche 924, but a stunt man boinks JLC in an oddly softcore scene. Tagline: “Sometimes it’s right, to do the wrong thing.”
Actual dialogue:
JLC: “I’m 21.”
The Keach: “Well, I’m 40.”
JLC: “I know.”
and a few minutes later….
JLC: “What can I do?”
The Keach: “What do you mean?”
JLC: “What can I do to get close to you….some day?”
A MUST SEE!!!
