Jane, no people at all at US Bank - ever. BofA - always slow, especially on the first of the month.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

I was surprised, however, it was Freddie that actually asked the question.  Two different banks does solve the mystery.

My last read of the year was West with Giraffes.  It is about the first pair of Giraffes at the San Diego Zoo and their 1938 cross country trip to get there after surviving a hurricane.  Their story made national news and along the way people were excited to see giraffes. At the heart of the fictionaled story is the young man escaping the Dust Bowl.

If you are a Bosch fan I recommend Michael Connelly's latest Lincoln Lawyer/Bosch book Resurrection Walk.

I'd been confused, but that does make sense if it's two different banks!

I am thinking of getting a haircut tomorrow.

DR RON PULLIAM survived his, so I'm guessing I'll be okay.

I’m not a big Michael Wilding fan. Surprised Hitchcock used in several movies. Even more surprised Liz Taylor married him.

But Marlene singing Cole Porter is perfection, even if the scene was clumsily staged and edited.

I gave more of a description of the book than I usually do because I felt that the blurb should have stressed the coming of age story.

Stage Fright has some very effective moments. Not great Hitchcock, but certainly very entertaining.
