By the way, actress Jane Kean passed away the other day. Some might remember her on the color episodes of THE JACKIE GLEASON SHOW.

I met her years ago at one of the Hollywood Celebrity shows in Burbank. We had a nice chat about her sister Betty Kean, who I was a big fan of. Betty was a comedic actress who worked in a lot of Universal films of the 1940s, including MURDER IN THE BLUE ROOM...one of my favorite films!

I believe she's the voice of Belle and sings "Winter Was Warm" in Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol.

This was the front page coverage of the local paper today. Two years after the fact there has been an arrest in the murder of the Vixter's friend.

Went to a friends yesterday for Thanksgiving #2, it was a lot of fun. Ended up at Bed Bath and Beyond and bought a Keurig coffee maker for my apartment on the way home.

Came home, watched some TV and did some work on the computer.

Miss Kean was also the star of Ankles Aweigh, which is the one show my mother saw on Broadway.

Today, some more work at home (First Sunday of Advent this weekend!), then off to church. Then I'm seeing a local production of 110 in the Shade this evening. Looking forward to that.

Stopped at a Half-Price Books on my way home this morning. Found a Victor Herbert bio (I think it's the one you didn't care for Larry), plus a few CDs. One is a Kenward Elmslie musical called Postcards on Parade, the other is a Kurt Weill set with two symphonies plus a bunch of John McGlinn recordings tacked on to it and last, a Cole Porter/Rodgers and Hart CD with some fairly obscure stuff like You Irritate Me So and A Tree in the Park.

Also found a Liz Callaway Christmas EP online. Didn't do my homework. One of the cuts is her Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas from BK's A Broadway Christmas album.

Lotta unanswered questions here, but I'm happy there's been a break in the case.

Am I credited on the CD, pray tell - or does she think the cut produced itself? And is Lanny Meyers credited?

Back from a three-mile jog, some scrambled eggs and an English muffin, banking, and picking up no packages.

If it's the Neal Gould bio, it's a mess. Miles Kreuger was asked to write a blurb and turned it down.It has some good info, but so much off-the-wall misinformation.

It was purchased as a download. There was really no info with it, except a credit to Ann and to Nicholas Callway Foster.

And was this also the guy who wanted to be credited in the liner notes, even though you used nothing from him or his book?

Thanks. I will try not to get them confused. And who knows when I'll have time to sit down and read a book that's not about barbecue.

I read this story yesterday and it made me really teary. I just love this woman.

She only started writing 2 years ago, never really intending for anyone to read her books. And now she is one of the #1 authors in the New Adult genre. And her books are amazing. I've read all 6 of her books. And I think I gave 5 of them 5 stars. I only gave maybe 6 other books 5 stars this year (out of 108 I've read this year).

What a lovely story. I am so happy for her.

When this is over at 3:00, I'm going to go back up to my bedroom and watch a bunch of shows that I recorded on that DVR. I have several episodes of several series that I need to watch.
