RIP, MY ALMOST NAMESAKE

From the world of infotainment comes sad news — pioneering ABC morning show host named Bill Beutel, has passed away. Actually, I can't say I'd ever heard of him — so in my case, I'm mostly sad that I never got a moment to go: 'Whoa, that guy's name is like my name!' while his mortal coil remained unshuffled.

And as these things are said to come in threes, I'm happy to report that veteran cinematographer Bill Butler is still up and around and making mostly crap you've never heard of. That should buy me some time.
