Birthday of James Garner. I always thought he was funny & The Rockford Files may have inspired some of my early driving style. If he’d take it, I’d certainly buy him a beer. Some people say that some texts guess that my birthday was the actual DOB of Jesus. But, its not like we were in the same classes or anything.😉 Jackie Chan was born on my birthday. He taught me that 1) anything in a room can help you in a fight if you think of it first… and 2) JLH laughing is enough cause to stop filming of any movie if only because its just. so. cool. 😉 …I wish I could make her laugh… ---
