So Robert Viagas of Playbill.com describes Thomas Meehan. I thought that was pretty cute. OK, I admit it, I had to look up "avuncular." According to Merriam-Webster online:
1 : of or relating to an uncle
2 : suggestive of an uncle especially in kindliness or geniality

What a truly bizarre word. What makes someone seem particularly like a male sibling of one of your parents?

I think that is a good way to describe the late Michael Jeter.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
