Integrity

Scout's Showcase Outfit

Gregory Peck and David Brinkley have died. All in all, they both most have been pretty remarkable fellas. Of course all the media folks are falling over themselves talking about their virtues and the impact of their careers in the national consciousness.

I really don't doubt their impact since I've spent a few too many Sunday mornings watching the latter and have enjoyed many films starring the former. By all accounts these guys had fully functioning moral compasses and acted upon their principles -- that's quite a feat for show biz folk.

To Kill A Mockingbird (the book and the film) resonated on a multitude of levels for me. Especially Boo Radley and that crazy little kid modeled after Truman Capote.

I still pee in my slacks every time I see Scout dressed as a ham.
