saw jane fonda doing what jane fonda does well. she was walking and an interviewer was walking beside her with a mic asking her questions. and it stuck me..man! she looks so much like her father. even the way she walks...like an up and down spiky graph...the way she holds her head and even the angle at which her neck was sticking out. surreal.
i suppose this isnt really that surreal being that she is his daughter and all...still..it was weird seeing her and thinking that its henry fonda looking a little different.

An inmate broke out of jail with the assistant warden's wife and lived with her for 10+ years before being caught in a trailer in a chicken farm.
NY Times on prison breakQUOTE
The husband, Randy Parker, to whom Ms. Parker returned after she and Mr. Dial were found, dismissed the account as a fabrication. Mr. Parker said he believed his wife’s account that she had been abducted and held against her will in fear of Mr. Dial’s underworld connections. Mr. Parker is now facility security operations director for the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.
This cuckolded husband is quite a fool. His wife leaves him for a convicted murdered who is in jail and 10 years later he takes her back when she claims she was held prisoner the whole time. Fear of underworld connections... lol

He is very magnetic in person, but he also manages to come across as some kind of really likable dufus. Fortunately, he has stopped using so much gel in his hair.

We have three cats: a standard-issue greige tiger (female), a mini tuxedo (female) and one very large and ancient black shorthair (male). They all go outside; when they want to come in, they appear in the window above my computer and stare intently at me with the universal feline Let Me In NOW face. Some movement caught my attention just now; I looked up to see a very large (and VERY handsome) long-haired orange tiger making the same appeal.
