Watching a 1998 TV interview with Paul Newman tonight I was struck by his comments on retirement: I think we retire from a facet of life to another facet. There’s lots of stuff out there waiting for me. Can’t retire from life.
Another quip that I enjoyed while reading about him was in response to all the fuss about his (sigh...) blue-blue eyes. When he was younger he said his epitaph might be…
He died a failure because his eyes turned brown.
Love his wit and intelligence, his irreverence and philanthropy, his many talents, his humanity.
May God comfort his family.

Lovely tribute to Paul Newman.
He was a class act.
Enjoyed your blog.
Thanks for visiting mine.
He was a good human! We should all be so good!
Very nice tribute to a nice guy, great actor. I liked him in The Sting and another where he was a lawyer in a Hallmark movie, I think. He was a good one. Oh, like your scarf
