Happy Birthday Bill Murray

One of my favorite comedians, Bill Murray turns 63 today- so here's a little tribute to the guy who started out on SNL, exploded into our favorite movie wiseguy in the 80's and 90's, and finally morphed into the sometimes serious actor and devoted Wes Anderson bit player he is today (though he still cuts it up on Letterman once in a while, see below). Caddyshack, Stripes, Ghostbusters, Lost in Translation, Zombieland- I can hardly choose my favorite. Oh forget it, yes I can- it's Groundhog Day, no question. Here's to you Bill!
