I got to read the last book with no interruptions, save for letting the dog out and in and out (that's my weekend job, let the dog in, let the dog out) Anyway, it is a great book, lots of resolution, tidying up loose ends, etc. I am rather desolate that there will be no more books to anticipate, but...

Best Acceptance Speech
Looking at Mongo/Joe's spotlight on Geraldine Page reminded me of another awards evening, and the best acceptance speech I have ever heard. Barbara Stanwyck won an Emmy for the best female lead performance (or however they were wording it at that time) in The Thornbirds. She accepted the award grace...

When he looked up, I asked him if the book was good, and he launched into a 5 minute discourse on muggles and wizards and BertieBotts everyflavor jelly beans. His mom loo...

Love the books. I may be charged with murder if someone gives away the ending to the last book before I get to read it. I won't be attending any launch events, but will be waiting anxiously for the book to arrive. I am of the camp that Snape is a good guy, working undercover for Dumbledore, and also...

Sweatin' to the Oldies...
Do any of you manly men out there remember the quote from Orson Welles, when he was married to the lovely Rita? A photographer was doing some studio shots of her, and asked an assistant to wipe the sweat from her face. Mr. Welles replied, "Miss Hayworth does not sweat. Miss Hayworth glows."

Foyle's War isn't over yet!
Mike, I stumbled into a message forum thru pbs.org, and the posters there are as knowledgeable about "Mystery" as all of you are about classic films and stars. (I think several of our posters participate over there, also). Anyway, there is one more season (according to the boards) of Foyle...

Re: The brass-carpeted West
Only in the movies are shooters never seen to save and pocket the spent shells or cartridges ("brass") after target practice to be reloaded with powder, primer and slugs to be used again. . Just watched "Nevada Smith", and Brian Keith tells Steve McQueen to "Pick up that br...

Turnabout
Tracey,
Per Judith's recommendation, I found a copy of "Turnabout" at abebooks.com. Several copies were available. Shipping was really fast, now I just need to find the time to read it!

Hi, Well, all I can say is that I'm very happy and glad that we all made it onto this site. I would hate it to have to lose such great and informed friends. We may be part of the middle aged and seniors but we are still vibrant and knowledgeable and exhibit good manners. And, that's why we're all w...
