tv talk

September 30, 2004

American Dreams – I am so glad this show is back! I feel for every character and cry every week! Clubhouse – so far so good. But I don’t think I would really miss it too much if it disappears. Survivor Vanautu – It’s taking me a while to get into it. I will give [...]

Grandma Van Houten

September 29, 2004

I am becoming more and more like her as the days go by. I have always rested my chin on my hand and pushed my nose with my finger. ALWAYS! And I catch myself and make myself stop because it really is not the most attractive of poses. Then the kicker last night was when [...]

Nancy Pearl

September 22, 2004

I just read “Book Lust” a book about reading books by a librarian in Seattle (well actually she’s from a lower middle class neighborhood in Detroit, but I didn’t recognize the name of the library she went to as a kid–Parker Library?) Nancy Pearl is the librarian who got all of Seattle to read the [...]

Scott Turrow

I have reached page 144 in Stott Turrow’s The Burden of Proof and have decided that page 143 will be my last. Maybe his stuff plays better in movies. The basic outline sounds like a good story. Lawyer comes home to his wife’s suicide, how he and the family deal with it. Wife had lots [...]

Is Heaven Real?

September 18, 2004

Yay!! I just finished the Mitch Albom book 5 People You Meet in Heaven. Having a day off or even a few hours make such a world of difference. Anyway, I started the book yesterday while I was get a pedicure. The korean guy that was working on me asked what the book was about. [...]

A Word About Chicken Soup

September 17, 2004

I was at a convention for ABWA and the very inspirational speaker told a story that she said she got from a new book (this was many years ago) called Chicken Soup for the Soul. It was a good story and I bought the book. It was a blatant and merciless tear jerker, but I [...]
