2021 mileage: 1523.1
Today I backed off, and settled for a mere 90-minute ride. While I pedaled, I watched the 1958 Rodgers and Hammerstein movie musical South Pacific. I waffled, trying to decide whether to finish the movie today (it would have been a bit over an hour more), but in the end, finally decided to do that tomorrow, so that I could turn back to composition today.
One thing that highly interested me about the movie was to see that a leading character (Luther Billis) was played by an actor who was very familiar to me—Ray Walston. He played the title role (“Uncle Martin”, as shown in the following picture) on the light television science fiction comedy My Favorite Martian of the early to mid-sixties, to which I was addicted as a boy. It surprised me because (foolishly) I had no idea that his career had included any other roles than the Martian.
