As Much As I Enjoy Shoes...

I'll let you read this anyway, if you want.

Can you imagine watching Gone With the Wind in black and white? It was actually on Turner Classic Movies yesterday, so I watched it and was glad I had a color TV.

Great article Robyn! My econimics would work better if I only bought shoes that fit me - I have had a pair of Merrill shoes all boxed and ready to send you for weeks. They look just like you - cute and comfortable. I'll get them mailed tomorrow.
Sorry I've missed a lot; flu.
Robyn I'm proud of you for this great piece! Love the intro too - was that yours or has it been changed? Others might think I'm insulting you there. I'm not, as you well know, and will know what I mean. lol. Fantastic!

Happy Birthday To...

Pope Leo IX (the Pope) JCF Bach (German composer) Jane Russell (of Gentlemen Prefer Blonds fame) Daniel Carter Beard (founder of the Boy Scouts of America) Jean-Paul Sartre (French philosopher) Maureen Stapleton (Academy Award winning actress) Mariette Hartley (who?) Prince William of Wales (the prince) but most importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 45 years ago today, I was born in Alabama in a small town on the banks of the Tennessee River. Yesterday, someone asked me if my family has any birthday traditions. The answer is no. My family never cared very much, but I do remember a few birthday highlights. I was given a birthday party in the back yard when I was ten years old. Two years later, my sister got married on my birthday, so I was just a bit overlooked, although I did get a stuffed animal--it was a white Yorkshire terrier with an AM radio in its stomach. When I turned 20, a different sister took me to an outdoor performance of Dvorak's New World Sympho...
