"When I started, I knew I was no actor and I went to work on this Wayne thing. It was as deliberate a projection as you'll ever see. I figured I needed a gimmick, so I dreamed up the drawl, the squint and a way of moving meant to suggest that I wasn't looking for trouble but would just as soon throw a bottle at your head as not. I practiced in front of a mirror." - John Wayne

February 15th: Duke is 5 months old today. He is so big, well as big as a 10 lb baby not at birth can be. He has found his favorite toy, which he stole from his Cousin Abram. It's a honeycomb ball that he will swing around, put in his mouth and pass from hand to hand. He is eating so well that I can't believe we were having the difficulties we were with him eating.
