RIP Glynis Johns, 100. Born in South Africa, her father an actor, her mother a concert pianist, her family returned to the UK a few months after she was born. She began in ballet at five, was teaching it at ten. There are 91 titles under her name at IMDb in a screen career that spanned 1938-’99. She also did 30 plays. She starred in 13 episodes of an eponymous TV show, 15 of Coming of Age, six of The Crime of Ovide Plouffe, four of Batman, and she made numerous guest appearances on many popular series. She received a Tony in 1973 for her performance in A Little Night Music, Stephen Sondheim composing Send in the Clowns specifically for her. On the big screen she appeared in The Sundowners (1961), for which she received a supporting actress Oscar nomination. Other notable celluloid roles: The Thief of Bagdad (1940), The 49th Parallel (1941), No Highway in the Sky (1951), The Court Jester (1955), Around the World in 80 Days (1956), Shake Hands with the Devil (1959), The Cabinet of Caligari (1962), The Chapman Report (1962), Mary Poppins (1964), While You Were Sleeping (1995). Married and divorced four times, Johns was a mom of one, a son who preceded her in death. Facts from Wiki, photo from Google Images:

The mainstream media have reported that Trump made millions from foreign nationals — those who stayed at his DC hotel, by far the best in town. What it won’t reveal is that the money was donated to the U.S. Treasury. Has Quid Pro Joe ever done that?

I assume migrants not being bussed to Delaware is fear of Biden reprisal.

Equal time, headline from foxnews.com: “U.S. employers added 216,000 in December and wage growth solid too.” Is Bidenomics finally working?

It looked like the floating book shop was headed for a goose egg on this cold beautiful day when things picked up in the final half hour. My thanks to the woman who bought two paperbacks in Russian, and to The Frenchman, who purchased Art and Philosophy by W.E. Kennick and For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway; and to my Constant Benefactress, who selected The Doomsday Conspiracy by Sidney Sheldon and A Suitable Vengeance by Elizabeth George.
