Adios, Butch Cassidy


I was saddened to learn that Paul Newman passed away last night. He was one of my favorite actors, and I also happened to enjoy many of his Newman's Own products. The other thing that I admired about Paul Newman was his take on life:

"“We are such spendthrifts with our lives,” Mr. Newman once told a reporter. “The trick of living is to slip on and off the planet with the least fuss you can muster. I’m not running for sainthood. I just happen to think that in life we need to be a little like the farmer, who puts back into the soil what he takes out.”"

I think he achieved just that.

Adios, Butch-
