MOM, Be Careful!!!

They weren't happy that I was up one level.

I was pretty pleased with myself, however.

Talk back to me! Word Verification is gone!

Reading

Commonwealth - This is real literature, a book to treasure and reread with characters who reveal themselves over generations. I really love Ann Patchett.
Hollow City - Ransom Riggs peculiar children race through WWII London and The Blitz and other peculiar beings chase after them. The photographs alone are remarkable enough.
Mercy - Daniel and Michael Palmer, father and son and TFOB stars, took me through assisted suicide and murder and mystery and I thought about it for a good long while afterwards.
Corrupted - Lisa Scottoline tells a good story, though I keep wanting to smack her characters and tell them to get hold of themselves.
Suspect - Robert Crais is perfect. His stories wind themselves around your brain and refuse to let go.
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries - All 20 of them, in order. It was bliss.

MOVIES , MUSIC, THEATER.

Dead Reckoning - Lizbeth Scott is sultry and the movie steals from everything else Bogey played, but still worth watching.
The Dark Corner - Lucille Ball may surprise you but Clifton Webb is Clifton Webb.
The Ex-Mrs. Bradford - Jean Arthur and d William Powell and all those other actors you see in movies from this era. It's fun and quick and wonderful - just like the best movies from that era.
Out of the Past - Mitchum as a bad boy turned good guy that even the 1950's moral overlay can't ruin.
Come Live With Me - Jimmy Stewart and Hedy LaMarr and it doesn't get much better than this.
The Two Mrs. Carrolls - Even Bogey and Stanwyck couldn't save this mess.
Rio Bravo - My favorite of the 3; I could listen to Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson sing all day long.
