On this date in 1899, Academy Award-winning film director George Cukor was born. He directed many famous movies, including The Philadelphia Story, A Star Is Born (the original, not the one with Kris Kristofferson and Barbra Streisand), and My Fair Lady. He passed away in 1983.
On this date in 1928, the Chillicothe Baking Company of Chillicothe, Missouri produced the first commercially-available sliced bread which revolutionized the bread industry. And gave birth to the phrase “the greatest thing since sliced bread”. 
And on this date in 1930, work began on Hoover Dam (aka Boulder Dam), though the actual construction didn’t begin until 1931. It was completed in 1936.
Tonight is the series premiere of the much-awaited (by me, at any rate 
) Warehouse 13 on the revamped Sci Fi Channel (which I refuse to call by its stupid new name). There’s also a new show on The History Channel (who don’t seem to mind not being able to trademark the word “history”!) called That’s Impossible which looks interesting.
I eased back into the writing groove last night with a page and a quarter (or a third, not sure which). 
Reading: Still reading The Laughter of Dead Kings. I’d forgotten how much I love the Vicky Bliss series.
I have My Fair Lady, one of my old favorites. You know the most fun and interesting facts! *G* I am eagerly awaiting Warehouse 13, too. I hope it’s at least decent. And I don’t blame you about Sci-Fi and their SyFy silliness.
WOO-HOO, WTG! A page and a third is awesome!
Have a great day!
