Alda Writes Book
I didn’t know that Alan Alda had a near death experience. It seems as though, when he was in Chile he had an obstruction in his intestine. He almost died. Since then, he has had a different outlook on life.
From CNN online:
“As a lot of people do who are given a second chance at life, I find myself thinking about things like this,” he says in a phone interview from New York. “I notice a lot of people who go through that have a few more questions than they had before about their lives.”
As a result of his experience, he has been looking through his things and remembering things. He has put his thoughts — derived from commencement speeches, advice and life experiences — into a book: “Things I Overheard While Talking to Myself” (Random House). It might be interesting.
