Wal*Mart Gift Ideas

I’ve been told by the dental hygienist that I brush my teeth too hard, and I should start using an electric brush, because it would be gentler. I wonder how well the less expensive model on sale at Wal*Mart works?

Simply Sibley

Brian Sibley's Production of "A Christmas Carol"I am very honored to be among the blogs and Web sites listed on author/actor/broadcaster Brian Sibley’s blog, which can be seen by clicking here. Sibley hails from England, and I have always felt a very strong association with England, the land of my ancestors; although I do wonder sometimes if my ancestors left on good terms, what with words like “pratfall” and “prattle” to live down.

Sibley writes about many things that I find interesting, including Disney animation and Nick Park’s Wallace & Gromit. I am pleased to have introduced Jimmy Johnson, creator of the comic strip Arlo & Janis, to the delights of Wallace & Gromit in 1995.

Sibley has an innovative and very well-received stage adaptation of Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” playing in London at the Greenwich Playhouse, through January 6. You can read the theatre reviews and blog reader comments at this link.

In our house we have a copy of The Annotated Christmas Carol, which is a book that I recommend highly. Sometime this week I will post an Orson Welles radio adaptation of A Christmas Carol, starring Lionel Barrymore.
