I'm Your Huckleberry: A Memoir | Val Kilmer

I don‘t know how I‘ve managed to go this long without writing a haiku about my absolute favorite movie, Tombstone, so here goes nothing! 🙃

Have gun will carry,
he‘ll be your huckleberry —
say when, he‘s ready.

Not gonna lie, I cried when he died. Felt like losing an old friend. Seems like we‘ve been losing a lot of the 60-something men in Hollywood the last few years (RIP Michael Madsen who died recently) 😔

#WhatsNewWednesday @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Read4Life (thanks for the tag! 😘) @TieDyeDuce

Since it says “news“ and not just good news:
After seeing the dentist for a routine cleaning, I found out that an implant on a back tooth nearly 30 years ago was done incorrectly, and I've lost 60% of my bone where that tooth is. So, next week, implant will be taken out 😳; 3 months later, a new one put in; 3 months later, a crown. #gulp

Read4life Ugh! I‘m so sorry to hear this. I hope all goes well. 💙💙💙 9mo

dabbe @Read4life I feel HAMLET coming on ... “To have a tooth? To not have a tooth?That is the question.“ I'll suck it up and take the tooth! 😂 Thanks. 😘 9mo

Ruthiella Oh no! 😟 So sorry to hear this. 9mo

Jari-chan Sounds awful 😞 I hope everything will turn out ok ❤️ 9mo

RohitSawant Sorry you‘re dealing with this. Hope everything goes smoothly! 9mo

AnnCrystal 🙏💝. 9mo

Lesliereadsalot Also in the implant process. Still better than the bridge I had put in 30 years ago that eventually disintegrated and weakened the tooth next to it which had to be pulled. You‘ll do better with this one! 9mo

AnishaInkspill awwww 😞, sounds awful, hopefully it will get sorted out 9mo

dabbe @Ruthiella Thanks. 🖤🎃🖤 9mo

dabbe @Lesliereadsalot You think something will last forever, but I guess almost 30 years is good enough, right? Time for the upgrade. Feeling your pain! Hope yours is going well. 🖤🎃🖤 9mo
