[ My dad ] died in 2011 and he was the smartest human being I'd ever met, probably the smartest human being that most people who met him had ever met, and to watch somebody that smart lose their mind, lose their brain, lose their ability to know what a fork is or know who I was, was an extraordinary thing to behold.

He was incredibly personable, very giving, very caring, very compassionate. The press painted him with that rough exterior, but for the most part, he was just a regular guy.

Frank was doing his best to cheer me up… I remember I went to the bathroom and when I came out, lo and behold, there’s Frank. He had emptied out a pack of unfiltered Camel cigarettes. He stuck like four cigarettes in each ear, three cigarettes in each nostril. And he had about 12 cigarettes across his lips. And he’s just staring at me like that.

I’ve been telling people to go out at night on either Sunday or Monday night to see the supermoon, the difference in distance from one night to the next will be very subtle, so if it’s cloudy on Sunday, go out on Monday.

What makes November 14 special is that the moon.
