Can You Get Arrested for This?

It's midnight and I've fallen and cant' get up - off the computer - that is. Damn! I hate getting sucked into the world wide web. I've been Googling old college aquaintences to see anybody's doing anything interesting, noteworthy or having more fun than me. I can't find anybody. Is nobody doing anything that I can peak in on? No scandal. No arrests. NO FUN.

I did something interesting today. I interviewed literary icon, Elizabeth Spencer! If you aren't aware of her and you love writing, then shame on you. She has won numerous awards, her book, A Light in the Piazza, was adapted as a movie (starring Olivia DeHavilland and the sun-tanned actor, George Hamilton) and more recently as a Broadway musical and she befriended Eudora Welty and even had dinner with William Faulkner. She's 87 and sharp as a tack. Her first cousin is John McCain but she won't vote for him because she's a "dyed in the wool long time Democrat."

My dear little children are with their grandparents in Monroe,LA and it's quiet around here. I've been looking forward to a little late summer break and now that I've got it, I feel a little lost and out of sorts. Who can I Google next?
