"You keep the flies out of the house." High praise from my eight year old. I guess I should be glad that he notices anything that I do around the house. Last night, we decked the halls (or s… Read More

I've been a long time fan of Rosalind Russell. Ever since I first saw her in His Girl Friday with Cary Grant. She was the only Auntie Mame for me (forget the Lucille Ball version) and I abso… Read More
