BK, I always enjoy reading about your book writing.

I wonder what or how much of a bribe Jeanne would take to spill the bean.

I'll spill the beans at some point - this is not one I'm worried about anyone copying.  All my books have a lot of humor in them, but I'd say this one, if it works as it should, will be the first purely comic novel I've written.  I'm trying to find ways to have some other stuff in it, but mostly it's just meant to be funny.

Good morning, or more accurately good evening since I have not yet been able to sleep.

Good morning, all!

I am feeling quite melancholy this morning. I'm not sure why.

I have company arriving around noon.  E&T DR Ben and Anthony are coming by to visit.  I haven't seen them since they and DR ChasSmith helped me evacuate Toyland.

DR Jeanne, I loved the first six seasons of FOYLE'S WAR. The Cold War espionage mysteries didn't appeal to me. Is there now a 9th Season?

I'm listening to Kiri te Kanawa's Christmas album. After dealing with her and her general and genuine ugliness on her Gershwin recording, I never wanted to hear her name again. When I realized that the album was arranged and conducted by Carl Davis, I decided I should hear it for his orchestrations. Him I like. Her I don't.

DR elmore--please say hi to Ben and Anthony for me.  I considered going to NY this weekend but it was too late to get a good train fare or airfare.  The hotel prices are very reasonable, though.

Good morning, all.

Last night I got hooked watching episodes of HOUSE M.D. that some channel was running as a marathon, and was awake till all hours.  And I do mean all of them.  I think I covered about every hour there is.

So, at some point today a nap will be in order because tonight I'm attending the closing performance of a friend's holiday revue.  But for now...

Coffee!  And a cream cheese danish.

Big congratulations to TCB on his beautiful round millstone. 

I was glad you held out for the arrival of DR George because that was one not to miss.  And kudos on selecting such an ideal quote for the occasion.  Well done, sir.
