I'm doing some panels March 16-20 as a guest of the 17th Annual Viriginia Festival of the Book…but that's not why I can't wait to get there. I'm excited as a reader. The line-up they've got is incredible. Here are some highlights, including:

You probably sipping a mint julep by the time you read this. Your Monk book featured at CUB groceries in Minneapolis. I read paperback, “Reincarnation of Peter Proud” by Max Einstein”. Predictable but not a bad read. Movie of same name with Michael Sarrazin not available in any format. I just did an article on the Betty White autobiography as related to NBC News in ’64 and me, Roy Neal and Arthur Godfrey. go to http://www.cheezymovies.blogspot.com
