22 years ago today Clive John Epstein suffered a fatal heart attack
whilst on a skiing holiday in Austria with his wife and kids.
As mentioned in an article called Harlem's Fab Four Promoter, Sid Bernstein became very close with Clive Epstein, Brian’s older brother. “We became best of friends. Class guy, very British, very Yiddish, and a lovely human being.”
Clive Epstein died in a skiing accident in 1988. “I lost a great friend,” Bernstein said. “He has two girls. I want my guys to marry one of them.”

In every mention I read about Clive (and not just the flowery obits), he is described as the most friendly and personable fella ever, and the most caring and loving father and husband.

Getting on the computer to start trying to figure out what to do about filing my 2009 taxes.
( ???? )
While I'm doing this, the TV is playing 1971's Fiddler on the Roof.
Yeah. That's one of the few movies I insisted Stephy watch when she was younger.
She loved it.
In return, I think I had to watch some Pokémon movie or something. :)
LOL Trivia: In the Family Guy episode When You Wish Upon a Weinstein, "Fiddler on the Roof" is mentioned where William Shatner played a role as a villager in it, only to yell "Khaaaaan!" from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan during the show.

 The audio version of my book, Just Say Nu, recently won an award and I found myself confronted with the same problem that I had to face after Born to Kvetch won something: How could I let people know? How was I to say something nice about myself without calling down an evil eye and very likely destroying the very good fortune that I wanted to talk about? How are you supposed to spit three times at the end of a press release?
Some of you might remember the old commercials for Crest toothpaste that had kids running into the house and yelling, “Look, Ma, no cavities!”
Imagine these commercials in Yiddish. The kid, in scarf and galoshes, a clove of garlic in a sock wound around its neck, runs into the kitchen. “Look, Ma, no cavities, keneynehore, af ale yidishe kinder gezugt, may such be the case with all the Children of Israel.”
Not very catchy, but if the kid doesn’t do it, the mother will have no choice but to respond with, “Vey gevalt, bays dir op di tsing, bite your tongue,” — i.e., “you’ve just condemned yourself to a life of toothlessness,” and then she’ll have to start spitting.
You can imagine my dilemma. I called my publicist and said, “What would you say if I were to tell you that Mel Gibson’s book about making The Passion of the Christ just won an award?”
To which she replied, “Mazl tov, Michael. What award did you win?”

Breaking:
Conan O'Brien rejects NBC's
efforts to move his show.
Source
Los Angeles Times | Jan. 12, 2010 | 12:46 p.m.
Conan O'Brien is not going to take one for the team. The host of NBC's "The Tonight Show" released a statement this afternoon saying he would not move his show from 11:35 p.m. to 12:05 a.m. to make room for Jay Leno's return to late night.
Since news broke last week that NBC wanted to move Jay Leno out of prime time and put him back in late night, speculation has centered around whether O'Brien would be willing to move his show or walk.
And I was SURE he wouldn't mind moving just a half-hour back!
Oh my goodness. Stephy will be sad. :(

|---|
 I hope he sits him down and talks.
I am so excited.
JON STEWART is the *only* interviewer we trust to have the balls and the brains to arsk a former Fab some intelligent questions for once.
New and original and funny questions.
... I hope! I hope it's not just one of these "and now here's our musical guest" thingies.
We want a proper interview, dammit!
And since the former Mr Liebowitz often loves to refer to things Jewish, I can hope beyond hope that there will be at least a tiny mention of Brian Epstein. Most likely NOT, but hey.
If he does have Richie sit and talk, we can at least be assured that this will be one very clever hilarious bit.
