Dammit. I always though I had more time.

The bucket list gets shorter without actually getting something checked off.

One of the guys from my old neighborhood met her at a Bob Hope USO show in 1967 in Vietnam.

One of those call-out-from-the-stage conversations where the GI gets on the stage, has a five-minute conversation, gets a kiss. Maybe five guys or so, if I remember his conversation correctly.

She was so beautiful. I never would have named one of my beautiful brunette kittycats Raquel, but that doesn't mean she wasn't beautiful, only that the name didn't appeal to me.

I had no idea how many movies she'd made. One of the networks had an all-day Raquel marathon, and the only one they played that I'd seen was Kansas City Bomber. They didn't play Legally Blonde, but she did a good job with her small part.
