Oh, I forgot to tell you:

Proceeds from the book sale = $10, 867.05!

Even after expenses, that will mean a lot of scholarships!

Spectacular.

Thanks, DR John G!

Amoeba is the BEST place to browse for CDs! I spend an awful lot of money at the one in Hollywood, whenever I am visiting.

[MBarnum]

Of course, I spend an awful lot of money browsing for CDs on Amazon.com, as well.

Love so many of their songs.

[ChasSmith]

I'd heard a lot about Amoeba and when I finally got into the Hollywood store last fall, it turned out to be all that and more.  You can't do the whole store in one visit or you'll be seeing double.

Did I buy anything?  No, because I was traveling as light as possible.  Next time, though...

Contractor two has come and gone.  And I must stop and just relax now because I haven't stopped since I got up at nine.  I spent an hour trying to get the printer configured with the laptop - that's finally done.

Thanks for the link.

I wonder if I noticed back then how good looking he was.

[Jane]

Thanks for the alert, Jane

You are welcome.  What do you feed your boys?

My friend Ben Hope is taking over Steve Kazee's role on ONCE. I have to go back to see it.

Good evening.

BK: I'm afraid it's going to be a cool visit, weatherwise.  We actually had a little snow this morning.  It's going to be in the mid-fifties tomorrow but back down to around 50 Wednesday and in the 40's later in the week.

At first I thought I read "My friend Bob Hope."

I've been to the market, and the weather is not at all pleasant. I don't know if the snow will stick but it's making for slippery mobility.

I'm going to have some dinner, then watch tv and read the new Jane Austen biography.

DR elmore have you read LADY SUSAN?

[John G.]

Thanks, DRs Jane and Cillaliz - wish you both could have been here!

I miss browsing for books.  It would have been fun.

I went to Amoeba Records last night in SF, found some cool stuff, but I, too, miss browsing through CD's, records, etc... the art is lost

I do, too. I really miss record stores. The used CD/DVD stores here are OK, but not great.

DR elmore have you read LADY SUSAN?

No. I haven't read much of the Austen juvenilia. I have it here somewhere. I believe that her cousin (?)Eliza who was the widow of a French nobleman and who later married one of Jane's brothers, was the model for Lady Susan.

No.

Look at the first pages.  It is very different from anything else she wrote, which might be why it wasn't published until after her death yet it was written when she was 19.

I revised my earlier comment about he novel.

If so Jane did not like her sister in-law at all.

[Jane]

It may also explain why Jane didn't revisit this novel and improve the writing.

Bruce,
Strongest most excellent vibes and xylophones for a safe, secure, and on-time flight and good weather both going and then coming home!!!!

COMPUTER VIBES and MOST EXCELLENT TRAVEL VIBES for BK!

~~~DITTO!!~~~

[Jane]

The more I read the more engrossed I became in the story.  Jane obviously didn't know how to wrap up the story, not so much the telling of it but the style of her writing.

[elmore3003]

Her cousin Eliza married a French nobleman who was beheaded during the Revolution, and Eliza barely escaped France with her life. My memory is that she and Jane were close before her marriage but that Jane disapproved of her putting moves on Jane's brother, who was younger than Eliza. This is all residual memory from the Tomalin biography pf Austen that I read over 15 years ago.

I have the 6-volume Oxford edition of Austen. LADY SUSAN is in it, along with the unfinished THE WATSONS and SANDITON and her juvenilia, like her History of England.

[Jane]

DR elmore, thanks for the interesting background on this.  I'm glad her cousin wasn't as horrible as Lady Susan was.  Please let me know what/if your new biography you are reading has anything to say about Eliza & Jane.

Are you speaking of just San Antonio?  Isn't Austin supposed to have some great stores?

[bk]

I'm okay with the cold, just need it to be nice and rain and snow-less the day I arrive and the day I leave.

[ChasSmith]

BK, don't read this post.

Actually, it doesn't even apply to the DC area.

SNOWING!

[Jane]

Craig lives just over the border from DC and his weather is looking clear through the weekend, for now anyway.

GOOD WEATHER VIBES!!!

Yes, I think it's all fine down there for the week.  What's weird is that they were expecting some of this tonight.  Or so I was told by someone there.  But it all stayed to the north.
