The "PS" post below about James Cagney goes with the previous post about Joan Crawford. It is not a PS to the post about US war crimes in Afghanistan.

I am, you know, generally out of my mind, but not to that degree...

I'm sorry to report that I've scrapped the first 5 chapters of the crime novel and am beginning again. But that will happen tomorrow b/c today is SPRING CLEANING DAY around here! yay. I'm thinking it will actually make me feel better, perk-up my spirits. Between Japan's tragedy; Libya; endless war and endless war crimes in the Middle East; and night after night of frost attacking my poor daffodils... then scrapping 10 days worth of writing here. I need something spiritually uplifting like cleaning my own house and getting it in order.

We'll see if that does the trick.

Okay, going to go crank up some Artie Shaw, specifically Begin the Beguine and then see where that leads. It usually makes me very happy. Have a good one, gang. Thanks for visiting!
