Congrats to Larry (McMurtry, not Bird) and quote of the week

One of Wally's favorite authors, Larry McMurtry, the prolific novelist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_McMurtry) who wrote Lonesome Dove and many other unforgettable books, won a Golden Globe Monday night for co-writing, with Dianna Ossana, the screenplay for Brokeback Mountain. (If Wally were old enough, he would agree that Brokeback is last year's best film.)

Larry also gave us the quote of the week when he accepted the award and thanked his Hermes 3000 typewriter, "one of the noblest instruments of European genius." No mention of Dr. Pepper.
