http://pat-browning.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 14, 2014.

I tried tracking it through the Internet. It’s everywhere but so far I can’t find out who wrote it. It seems to be like the old World War 2 slogan “Kilroy was here” – it just appeared and spread like a rash. Might have turned out something like this:. ABBOTT: I just did. COSTE...

Saturday, June 15, 2013. A Father's Day Tribute. When I see coaches kicking dirt and bellowing into walkie-talkies, I remember my father standing quietly on the sidelines, arms folded, watching the action with no apparent angst. The way he figured it, if a team didn’t know how to play when the game started, it was too late to teach them. For him it worked. The map of. This tribute to my father was written for T he. Coach Lucas And The Family Tree. My father, I think, would laugh about all this, but with ...

Wednesday, February 12, 2014. Sid Caesar - Comic Genius. Another show biz legend has left us. Sid Caesar, comic genius, died Feb. 12. The closest I ever came to being struck stupid when meeting a real star was when I wangled a backstage interview with Sid Caesar. He was in. Appearing onstage in LITTLE ME. I was a new stringer for the Fresno Bee. And the minute I walked into his dressing room I knew I was out of my league. I asked him why he was so much funnier on stage than on TV.

I’m pretty boring, actually, but I’ve done one or two interesting things in my life. The most wonderful thing I ever did was give birth to my two daughters, Anni and Robin.

It's me in a costume from Pag, an island off the coast of Croatia. To hear a song from a Macedonian area of Bulgaria (I know. Weird, huh?
