Screw it, I'll just get out my Quiggly Down Under movie and watch that. No one is a better cowboy since John Wayne.

I LOVE Tom Selleck! He IS Owen Wister's "The Virginian." I have read that book many times, over many decades. It was only in the past few years that it occurred to me that everything about The Virginian -- his size and complexion, his gentleness, his humor, his humility, his intellegence, his good manners, his way as a leader of men, his courage, his respect for women, and how extremely dramatic, wild, and handsome he looks in full cowboy garb (read the book, if you haven't) -- is totally, completely Tom Selleck. He IS The Virginian.

Just watched Quigly Down Under the other night and enjoyed it immensely, as always ... my favorite line:

"This ain't Dodge City and you ain't Bill Hickock."

BE SURE to rent or find a little movie Selleck made called "Ruby Jean and Joe." It's my dad's all-time favorite movie. It's a sweet, totally Tom Selleck flick.
