A book that would definitely get the author on Oprah's show!

Really?? I've never watched Oprah. Maybe I should...

Well, I've heard peep one at least.  Margaret called - I guess she got hung up doing other things yesterday.  Happy to report that she loved the new pages and, most importantly, was never bored (because this is a mystery and one of detection, a lot of it is conversations, and it's hard to keep that interesting).  She only had two tiny little comments, which she's right about (I knew she'd have the reaction to one thing in particular, and I'd almost taken it out, then forgot about it), so I'm fixing those, then moving on to Chapter Thirteen.

Now I need to hear peep two from the pressing plant lady.  I'm not having good feelings about the CDs arriving today - probably tomorrow now.  But, she's going to have to pay for this little screwup or this will be the last job she does for me.

Mid morning snack (yes, I'm behind) -  - egg whites, seasoned with Mrs. Dash, garlic powder and a little dry mustard with some green onion tops... FANTASTIC - and a 1/2 cup of pineapple.  Good times Good times

While you are at the Post Office [if that is indeed where you're going], check out the FBI's 10 Most Wanted posters.  You may recognize several of the mugs as familiar avatars.

TOD: Bob Roberts, in addition to many others already mentioned.

But...No votes for one of the highest ranking political films on imdb: THE INTERNATIONALE?

I did watch last night's WITHOUT A TRACE, an okay episode but as it became pretty clear early that the missing girl was not in any real danger, it lessened some of the tension. Still, a teenager who had been lied to her entire life by her grandfather (who was raising her), it certainly had some poignance.

Then I watched Jules Dassin's 1950 masterwork NIGHT AND THE CITY. What a super movie, and apart from one slight scratch about 3/4 of the way through, a beautiful transfer from Criterion. Will watch the special features before prime time TV begins tonight.

Two developments as a result of last Friday's incident that caused me to mouth off to the library director:

1)  3 (only 3?) people have been banned for 6 months from all system locations

2)  The head of the Main Library will be at our departmental meeting tomorrow to "hear staff concerns and ideas regarding the Main Library’s security."  He'll get an earfull, unless my coworkers clam up.

Ginny, were any library employees threatened? Any other library patrons? Any weapons?

(are four hands better than one, Dr Elmo?)

Meaning four people or wo, Miss Karen?  Are you speaking from some experiences you never want Boo-key to hear of?

I knew someday it would happen...and today was the day....I accidently used my hair product on my face thinking it was moisturizing cream.

It took me a little over a half hour to figure out why my face felt so strange and stiff.

Surely not the first time?

Well, it being the early 60s and all, I don't think national television audiences were ready for John Beradino without his swim trunks.

They were, but they were too repressed to admit it.

Good news for Boo, but I'm also a bit amused by the idea of Dick Van Patten putting his name on cans of cat food.

Or putting his can on the face of cat food!

The movie with Robert Preston and Dorothy McGuire and Eve Arden is terrific.  There are a couple of subplots that are heart-breaking.  There are just some REAL people up there.

I agree---great film! For some reason I was remembering it as in black and white. I remember watching it when I was a kid and thinking it would be a horror film.

Good morning all.  Well I'm not going to prison today. Boo has been throwing up a lot lately.

I never had this problem with my ancient cat in the 20 years we lived together, but these new-fangled cats hurl all the time, especially one in particular who is timid and probably has a sensitive tummy. So I'm going to try some of the foods mentioned and see if they help the situaiton. I hope Boo continues to keep dinner down!

Since so many H/Ks appear to eat oatmeal on a daily basis, we ought to do a survey to find out what the most recommended brands are!  :)

Unclie Sam's instant oatmeal with flax seed for me, adding dried cranberries and pecans or sugar-free maple syrup. Sometimes blueberries, if they're on hand.
