"Goodfellas," the book and the movie

[Wilson Gray]

Jon, have you seen the review in the TBR of a book entitled, A
Pickpocket's Tale? It includes the brief memoir of a
nineteenth-century career criminal, George Appo, who describes himself
as, among other things, "a good fellow."

I didn't see either "good fellow" or "goodfella" in HDAS, but I may
have overlooked one, the other, or both. As a house-husband and given
that Monday is washday, I'm in the middle of doing the wash. So, I'm
rather busy.

Everybody says, "How hard it is that we have to die"––a strange
complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
