1. That's sad news.

I like Peter Falk. He's a fine actor. And he was in one of my all time favorite comedies, "The In-Laws".

6. Omigod.....

I have never met anyone else, other than myself and my best friend, who counts that movie in their favorites list. It is laugh-out-loud-funny.

"Serpentine, Shel. Serpentine!"

7. Very sad

I recall there was an incident with him last Spring, where he was acting very strangely, shouting at people on the street, etc. The press were following him, and he got very agitated. This was more than just a celebrity growing tired of the paparrazzi. Clearly, it was a sign of what was happening to his mind.

So sad. It's a terrible disease.

8. No one made could make a role sing like Peter Falk. Great actor.

10. One of the things that I'm totally jazzed about with Obama is he's

very pro-stem cell research. I believe so many diseases can possibly be cured including Alzheimers, Parkensons, Spinal Cord injuries, MS, and others. Too bad we're a decade behind because of idiot Bush. I'm a hugh Peter Falk fan. I've even bought two season of Columbo. I'm so bummed that he had this horrific disease.
