The first time my parents met Seilah, my father had the funniest conflicted look on his face--half aghast, half incredibly proud.  ;)

This one?


His books are great, as is his blog, too!  :)

That's the book! I tried twice to post it and I was told it was impossible. Go figure.  Marc may now be a Portland resident, but he's originally from the East Coast, Long Island or New Jersey, I believe.

HOW I PAID FOR COLLEGE is a hoot, and so is Seth Rudetsky's BROADWAY NIGHTS.

The audio version of How I Paid for College is on its way to me from one of our branches.  Apparently, the same narrator, Jeff Woodman, will be recording the new book.

The Oregonian has been running Marc Acito stories for a week now (including today) and they have repeatedly stated he was born and raised in Portland.  I'm just the messenger.  ;)

No, it never crossed my mind.  Ben was surprised to see Sayid in Tikrit.  He would not have been surprised had he "expected" to see him.  IMO, of course.

I believe with Pogue, Brett, and me we have at least a triumvirate of cheesecake lovers.  ;)

Hmmm....Pogue, Brett & Jeff....yes, I see the trifecta of cheesecake crown resting upon your collective brows!

He's from New Jersey, so the Oregonian needs to update their records. HOW I PAID FOR COLLEGE is set in New Jersey; there's that whole plot about the Hoboken diocese and Frank Sinatra.

A Trifecta of Cheesecake - my new unauthorized sequel to a Confederacy of Dunces

I don't know if your new book can offer a bawdy laugh like the Confederacy's "12 inches of paradise," the slogan for Ignatius' hotdog stand.

Jack Eric Williams, the original Broadway Beadle Bamford, longed to play Ignatius in a film version, and I recall that he told me that Angela Lansbury had sent a recommendation for him to play the role to the holder of the option .

DR Elmore - the Offenbach piece played by the zookeeper's wife was "Go, Go, Go to Crete" from La Belle Helene.

In The Zookeeper's Wife, Diane Ackerman spends several pages on Offenbach - pp. 174-177.  These reference are to the Large Print edition, the only copy available here today.  I suppose the day may come when I'll appreciate large type, but for now I couldn't read a whole book in that format.

...And now I'm trying to wrap my head around all the stuff I have to get done today before I head down to Virginia tomorrow.  I think I can get all of it done before I head to Carnegie Hall tonight for Bryn Terfel's recital, but I may end up having an hour or two or cleaning and organizing to take care of once I get back.  We shall see...  -At least I had a good workout this morning.

For those who like to be prepared:

Warning - there will be a KIMMELRANT to come:

LATIMESOh yes, dear readers, we shall be treated to a royal KIMMELRANT.

der Brucer


They instituted area-code dialing in the DC area years ago, and in some parts of Virginia and Maryland too.  It's just three more digits.  Besides, if you have a cell phone, you already have to do that anyway.  What's the big whoop?
