A Toast to Venkman

I have come to the conclusion that the comedic actor I most admire is Bill Murray. He does what he wants, when he wants, the way he wants. A man like that has to be respected and, truth be told, envied. I have added him to my list of humorists with whom I'd like to have dinner, along with such notables as Mark Twain, Will Rogers, W.C. Fields, Groucho Marx, Robert Benchley, James Thurber, Dorothy Parker, E.B. White, H. Allen Smith, and Will Cuppy. Of course, of these Murray is the only living representative, but I estimate my chances of success are approximately equal with all of them, so it matters little.

Mr. Murray, I salute you and your free spirit.
