Cold outside, notey inside

** How long will Barnes & Noble last? Some say not too long.

** Seems raising sons is turning into a theme this week.

 ** Ordered this for my poli-sci/history major daughter: The Fall of the Berlin Wall, by William F. Buckley Jr.

 ** Here’s a fascinating little window into the working habits of one our most brilliant and prolific artists. It’s from Robert B. Weide’s 2011 PBS film Woody Allen: A Documentary. In the scene above, Allen shows us the machine he has used for sixty years, the only typewriter he has ever owned: an early fifties manual Olympia SM-3. “I bought this when I was sixteen,” Allen says. “It still works like a tank.”
"I love criticism just so long as it's unqualified praise."
-- Woody Allen
