"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

September 14th: I am a supper slacker who hasn't posted for the past month, however little man has been moving so much lately who can blog and type when baby is moving around. So my inventive son can get all around the house and everywhere. Duke's critical thinking skills crack me up because he may not have the arm strength to get him going, so he said you know what...I have a head, let me use that instead.

Duke got his first earache, and how does he react...he doesn't get upset over 5 seconds and is laughing at the doctor. I also learned that a scarf will substitute for a blanke any day of the week.

Duke's interaction with kids is developing and he is becoming more of understanding about wrestling...thanks to his nephews thinking he is their baby and wanting to carry him around.
