RIP Ricardo Montalban
As most people my age I was first exposed to Ricardo Montalban as Mr. Roarke on Fantasy Island
As I grew older I saw him in many other productions from earlier and later in his career (including my favorite comedy appearance in The Naked Gun – From the Files of Police Squad!
He was an excellent actor with a distinctive voice. I will miss him.

Teens Arrested After Calling Victim
There was a story in the news this morning about five teens who were arrested after calling the man they had mugged the day before and taunting him. The call was traced by police and the kids were arrested. This is exactly the reason we need to keep our kids in school. Instead these kids are learning an important lesson in prison: let sleeping dogs lie.
