    I was excited to see that you started a blog! I have one myself -- but need to get better about posting on it. :^)

    Here's a random fact about me: I enjoy reading manga and watching anime (only certain types, mind you). Yes, that's a little known dorktastic fact about me. ;^)

    Posting for Bette via FB. She brings our random facts total up to 13. Interesting stuff, Bette, Who knew?
    ‎1. My birth name was Martha Jean Barber. I am definitely not a typical Martha (as in Stewart or the Bible) .
    2. Carlton was named for a Memphis lawyer whose wife played the organ for our wedding. His middle name is Harry's. Carolee's middle name is Elizabeth, my given name ( nickname Bette). Both children were named before Harry and I were married.
    3. I stop whatever I am doing to watch "The American President". I think President Obama comes closest to the Michael Douglas role that any other President in my lifetime.
    4. I have a doll that has been under our Christmas tree every year since I was born. Harry and I bought Carolee a doll that's been under the tree every year since she was born. That doll's face is a dead ringer for Colin!
    5. The first time I saw children who had hair the color of mine before I was an adolescent was in Denmark.
    6. After cataract surgery I no longer needed the glasses that have been part of my face since early elementary school. I know I should wear protective goggles because my eyes are not used to being unprotected!
    7. I was on Pennsylvania Ave. on November 24 1963 when President Kennedy's body was transferred from the White House to the Capitol. I stood diagonally across the street from where John John saluted his father. I had turned sixteen the day before.
    8. I attended the tickertape parade in Chicago for the astronauts who went to the moon in 1969.
    9. I went to see ”To Kill a Mockingbird" on the day the Malco (now the Orpheum) was integrated beyond the upper balcony.
    10. My grandfather ran the projector at the Orpheum when it was also still the stage for vaudeville.
    11. My parents honeymooned at the Peabody. My first kiss was at the Peabody.
    12. Ours was the first wedding for which the St. Luke's choir sang.
