I'll be seeing the movie this Sunday.
I always thought the young Jeff Bridges looked like the young Samuel
Clemens. I
don't know how well he'd do as the older Mark Twain, but he has won Oscars.
I can't think of anyone who had a more interesting and varied life than
Mark Twain.
Right now I'm learning more about him when he went over to Hawaii and wrote
articles for the Sacramento Union. I plan to brag that
my town prodded him towards his travel writing and lecturing careers
