I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm very interested in the Magnum P.I. movie right now. Thanks to re-watching my season one box set of the series I am in touch with my principals on this subject. I am completely stricken to think that Ben Affleck might play my surrogate dad of the '80s. In addition I am intrigued (when I am in the mood to respect John Hillerman's retirement) by the suggestion that David Suchet play Higgins. Anyway...

Update! I read yesterday that Mark Wahlberg might play Rick. I approve. And am kind of ashamed that I have a position.

Market Place Music: Jane Lindholm

I've often said that I love the music they play on Market Place on NPR (usually I say it to myself, when I'm all alone).  Not just because of what they play but how and why.  I love how they...
