I'm now going to start The Happy Prince, with Rupert Everett as Oscar Wilde.

Back to the end of Little Women.

I thought you gave up on it.

Just because I was tired. I wanted to see the rest.

I thought you were tired of the show.

I haven't read much in the last couple of days, think I will do so now.  I am reading the gothic novel Once Upon a River
by Diane Setterfield.

I don't know how much of The Happy Price I'll be able to watch tonight. It's a little too depressing.

I learned my dad is going to have to have an operation, which can't be a great thing for a 90-year-old.

Wednesday evening greetings!

DR Ginny, Dawn Powell was a good friend of John Latouche and she appears throughout Howeard p[ollack's new Latouche biography.  Which of her novels would you recommend I read?

I’d start with My Home is Far Away, because it’s somewhat autobiographical and I think you’d enjoy the Ohio aspect.  DR John G has provided a great list and I’ve been thinking, also, that it’s time to rad som more of her books.  I’d also like to read about her in the Latouche book.

Definitely a cause for concern...

And speaking of the Sherman Brothers (I'm sure that someone was...somewhere ;) ), I just bought on eBay a SEALED LP copy of their stage musical, DAWGS! (the "!" is actually in the title)  Only $14.20, including tax and shipping!  Has anyone ever heard this?  I'm assuming that the music is good because, well, Sherman Brothers.

OMG and in his condition.  I am sorry.  I hope it is a short one and does not effect his short term memory.

Well, I need to leave work now.  There's a library board meeting, so I don't have to close the building. :)

Be back later.

Had some soup for my snack, a Kind bar, and I'm listing to some Mili Balakirev.  I like it.

I'd only had a chili, cheese, and onion hot dog and side Caesar earlier.

Thank you, all. I have no idea when the surgery will be, so I guess I'll be antsy about it -- though not nearly as much as Mom -- until then.
