1. Rosalind Russell!!!

Is it her birthday, I wonder? I have yet to read her biography, and I think that it would be really good.

I saw 'Sister Kenny' several years ago. Sadly, I've missed 'Craig's Wife' which was shown earlier this evening! drat.

2. Star of the Month.

Rosalind Russell is Star of the Month, so there's something going every Tuesday night.

I see they're also running The Citadel. Sunday was a Robert Donat day, and I couldn't stop myself from staying up late to watch The Count of Monte Cristo. There was a terrific miniseries of that particular work a few years back (I think it was made for French TV and ran on either Bravo or A&E before they fell down the reality TV and reruns privy), but Robert Osborne recommended the Donat version in particular.

3. I really didn't know what day it was yesterday OR today!

I missed my Dr's appt. this morning, 'cuz I thought it was on Wednesday. SO, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that today is indeed Tuesday, and I'm enjoying 'Craig's Wife' as I type!!
