Last I saw of Garrett was him in the sitcom 2 Broke Girls which ran from 2011-2017. I only watched that show for the first couple of seasons and my tv watching has dropped to zero now so anything more recent I cannot tell unless I look him up on IMDB.

I used to love watching the Mod Squad. This is getting depressing.

RIP.

Life is playing 18 holes of golf. Takes 4 years to play each hole. I’m in the middle of my 2nd putt on the 72nd hole.

I also heard that God doesn’t count the time spent on a golf course...if true, I got that going for me...

For many decades, I thought Samuel L. Jackson was Linc.

I was not the only one.

There is a famous TV interview where SLJ goes ballistic because some journalist thought he was Linc, too.

“But his Fro was perfect!”

My neice the beauty salon owner extraordinaire, insists Linc’s ‘fro was a wig. Her argument is based on the hours it would take to maintain and that production overruns and schedule demands wouldn’t allow for that level of hair maintenance.

She has a point. I wonder?

I say shes right, although back then the very idea of a man wearing a wig would have shocked a lot of people.

Yet another reason to play more golf!

“First they broke the law, now they are the law.”

That sound like a synopsis of Stanley Kubrick’s “A Clockwork Orange”

He was great as Jelly Roll Morton in “The Legend of 1900.”
