> I'm very excited to report that the TNT
> network on July 14 will be showing a new
> movie about a salesman called "Door To
> Door."

> William H. Macy plays the salesman, this is
> based on an actual person I forgot to say,
> and he is a door to door salesman with
> cerebral palsy and a rather strange
> appearance and slurred speech. The movie's
> trailer showed door after door being slammed
> in this poor guy's face, yet through
> persistence and the help of people who cared
> about him he finally won Top Salesman for
> his company.

> Hard to believe there's going to be an
> admiring movie about a salesman--about time,
> I should have said.

> Best,
