Read an interesting article this morning. ABC plans to have a tie-in novel by “Richard Castle” for a little added oomph to the show Castle. Wonder who will be ghost writing it?
On this date in 1928, John Logie Baird of London achieved the first color television transmission. 
Amazing! I mean, movies were only beginning to have sound at this point. It’s hard to believe anybody could send out a color broadcast of any kind.
It’s also the birthday of actor George Sanders who would have been 103 if he hadn’t committed suicide in 1972 (or died of natural causes before now, of course). He won an Academy Award as a supporting actor for his role in All About Eve in 1950. But my favorite works of his were the Saint and Falcon movies. None of which, annoyingly, have been released on DVD. Sanders was also one of Zsa Zsa Gabor’s numerous husbands.
Tonight on TV, I will be watching The Bourne Identity on USA. I’ve never seen it. I’m trying to watch all the fun action/adventure movies I’ve missed, for one reason or another, over the last several years.
Reading: Now I’m reading Cat in a Sapphire Slipper by Carole Nelson Douglas. I love this series, but there is one aspect of the subplot that’s been going through several books that’s starting to bother me. I don’t want to be any less vague than that, however. 
Just that I’m hoping things will improve to my preferences by the end of the series, which should, I think, be seven books from now. Last I heard Ms. Douglas has it planned to run through the letter Z.
Oh!! That’s cool about the Castle novel tie in! Hm, I wonder too who’ll they’ll have write it…

Is it part of a Bourne marathon?
I heard about that tie-in with Castle. THe ghost writer should be very interesting.

It’s funny, when the show started I looked at Chris and told him that if this were a book, I’d read it. I’m looking forward to trying this. And yes, I am curious about the ghostwriter as well.
I’ve never seen the Bourne movies, either, but Chris likes them. *G* And I admit to being curious about the last one filmed, where we see the title character hit someone with a hard back book. *G*
I hope you’re having a great day.
