Walker

At late night I caught a comedy movie which I enjoyed in the 1950s, and had not seen since: "Bell, Book, and Candle," starring James Stewart, Kim Novak, and Jack Lemon. It was a delight. A nice surprise in it was the additional appearance of the t.v. comic giant, Ernie Kovac(s), a scruffy, cigar chomping, witty, creative, somewhat ditzy guy. Suddenly Kovac reminded me of an old friend of mine, Walker (first or last name? no one seems to know). Knowing Walker for these past decades has been like knowing Kovac---like sneezes, a burden yet a blessing. Aaaaachewwww! Pardon me.
