Never mind. Found it.

Really, my FB updates are so placid in comparison! In this instance, I'm rather glad of it, too.

Thanks! It's a good day when I can get on the bike.

Jack Douglas is one of those figures that are very famous when active and then completely forgotten once they stop. I've read a couple of his books. He was a humorist in the way people could be on the old talk shows. Not really a stand up but just came on and was funny.

He wrote a handful of humorous memoirs (kind of a David Sedaris of the '60s and '70s now that I think about it). While I haven't read this one, the first part of the title is a reference to him being Jewish and his wife (who also was someone known though I can't remember her name but have just looked it up and it was Reiko) was Japanese.

The fact that now nobody knows him doesn't bode well for the comprehensibility of Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls in 40 years.

666 by Jay Anson was a great book too.

Yes, I read it.

I remember "Jack Douglas and Reiko" as talk show guests for reasons that were never obvious beyond the self-validating fact that they were there.

Packing and panicking and trying to remember everything I need- I have a Doctor Who themed cruise starting in two days!!!!! My brother and his fiancee are going with me and it's going to be a blast!! I can't wait.

And I have a dive day in Cozumel on Monday- warm water diving!! I also have a new camera to try out so that will be fun, too. So I will see you all in a week!
