I'm not surprised. In conversation, you have some of the same light, graceful way of handling - or pushing away - incoming questions, and a certain sang-froid. I hear you when I read her and as to the age difference, we're all still 20 in our heads!

I don't have the last one but I have the two before that.<br /><br />Yeah, I don't like that they killed off Matthew on Downton Abbey, but I guess both him and the actress who played Sybil (I think she's the one who died after childbirth) wanted to leave the show. You'd think they'd be happy to have a job on a successful show. And the British shows don't have as many episodes as American ones.Michelle Fidlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10285519745590239008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-8090882191200368362013-08-06T19:36:02.895-04:002013-08-06T19:36:02.895-04:00Can't wait to read this book!
