R. I. P. Karl Malden

Sigh, another great one is gone. This summer has been awfully morbid as far as the string of deaths in the news. First Ed McMahon (THAT IS CORRECT SIR!), then Farrah, and now Karl Malden. Those three faces bring back such good memories of my childhood and the options we had on our four channels--three if it was a windy day. I remember watching The Streets of San Francisco in reruns and thinking how cool it must be to be in that city. What was it like to be surrounded by such great scenery all the time? Well the streets of San Francisco are second nature now. I feel privileged to know that my workspace is situated in such a great area.

I'll be returning to San Francisco tonight, and I'll be sure to play the theme to The Streets of San Francisco on my ipod as I exit off of the Bridge. I'll think of Karl Malden and I'll smile at the memories of days gone by.
