I was sitting and reading something and conked out for an hour.

Listening to Jane Austen’s Bookcase, a fun look at the writers who influenced Jane. The list includes Frances Burney and Ann Radcliffe, both of whom I have read, and the Charlottes Smith and Lennox, whom I need to read.

Millstone Alert - George, you're getting close to another impressive millstone. Could be today, or at least real soon.

Thanks for the heads-up, Freddie! But, definitely not happening today.

You could write two books, with the narrative being just fictional enough that you're able to put out the pertinent story, but not so truthful that you could get sued.

Just a thought.

That's very helpful advice. I think the stories are only potentially interesting to potential readers (or to places to seek publicity) because of who the real people have been. So I've been careful that the stories not disparage anyone.

I think I'd know how to promote a book where the focus of publicizing the book is the parody lyrics, not really concerned that the book sell really well, but still use the book as tool for putting on a show. That's why I thought the best approach was to put parodies and stories in the same book. But you may have the better idea.

Glad I could be (potentially) helpful!

It's very good to now have that in mind as a possibility.

Cool!

Or maybe use the narrative you described as the basis for a musical. Liberties with real life are almost always seen as acceptable in musicals.

That would be very cool!

I have a friend who was working with Mr F. Murray Abraham. My friend asked him what the "F" stood for and he said: "Famous."

I don’t want to pile on ol’ F, but I knew a server at one of his favorite midtown haunts who said the “F” stood for “creep.”

Last night he said “F” was for his father , he said the name but I didn’t catch it, but it was a Syrian version of Frederick

I believe it was Singdaw wondering about melatonin. Mrs Rodz takes it now and again, two chewy pills from a purple bottle.

As long as it's not a green elixir.
