MYSTERY EXPOSED





SUCH MARVELOUS GUESSES!

SUCH WITTY RESPONSES!

Alas, everyone was incorrect. As you can see, our Mystery lad was none 
other than the recently departed bear, James Gandolfini. I'd always secretly hoped that one 
day scads of dollars would be thrown at James, Edie Falco, et al. and a Sopranos' movie would 
bring us back to New Jersey, but with James making a too early exit, it's all over.
Forever.

AND NO CHEATING!


if you do cheat, i'll eat four pounds of asparagus 
and come and pee on your front door.

FOR MR. MAGO



Dear Mago requested some snaps of Mouse & Alvy 
and I am only too happy to accommodate his request!


Out of the last three shows that Alvy's been entered in, 
he's managed to get a BOB (Best of Breed) in each one of them! 

Pretty darn nice.



As for Mr. Mouse, he just gets to stay home and be adorable. 
And Bark.

REVELATION



Yes, Muscato & Jason 
(who commented at precisely the same moment) are correct. 
This is in fact the once magnificent Claudia Cardinale.




I know I'm shallow, but when I came upon that current shot, 
it floored me. I recall a old friend telling me that Italians don't age well. I feel I may have begged to differ with him, but in this case...
***
Of course, I do give dear Claudia a standing 
ovation for letting time cum all over her and she 
resisting the urge to wipe that time off.
