Watching an old Columbo episode. He is offered a job to help determine what went wrong after a plane crash. He turns it down because it would require flying. And what made me laugh out loud was when he said something to the effect of, "Oh no, no. I don't like heights. I don't like being on elevators. And I don't even like being this tall." Delivered with the dry Columbo wit.

On a related note, a recent Peter Falk interview mentioned that the original concept of Columbo was much more upscale, and Peter decided to use his old rumpled trenchcoat, and have him drive a beat-up old car. Would it have been as successful if Columbo was nicely dressed all the time? I don't think so.

One thing I don't miss about school is staying up late to get things finished by the deadline. Hello 1:30 AM!
