Coincidence
Michael Estabrook
I'm heading home from the pool and for some reason I begin thinking about the movie Oh God, the one in which George Burns plays God. And it's not as if I'm always thinking about this movie. In fact I don't recall ever thinking about this movie, other than for a few minutes after seeing it 20 or so years ago. It just popped unannounced into my mind. I think how nice a movie it was, how the concept of God as a loving yet hands-off deity was portrayed so simply and clearly and believably. I think how good it was that George Burns got to play God, he was such a cute guy for the part, unassuming and loving, understanding and non-threatening. And I look over and notice I'm passing by Burns Street.
