Angela Cartwright

Angela Cartwright is an example of what happens when child actors do not implode. She has become a successful mom and artist who embraces her past in a healthy, non-Norma Desmond way. One of the pleasures of the blogosphere is in reading her blog, which is beautiful, personal, and funny. She includes photos of her artwork, which can also be found at her website-http://www.angela-cartwright.com/.

One of the more interesting entries has been her chronicling how she and her family fared during the blackouts that have recently happened in California.

Another Template Update

Every so often, I decide to update the template to a colour that is more seasonal or that I feel like wanting to look at for a long period of time.

Don't get me wrong-I liked the previous template but I felt that something green was in order. The formatting also saves me having to figure out how to reformat the various links that I have collected and updated.

I have spent time checking out all of the links I have here. In a few cases, I have deleted those that are no longer valid. Others are providing me with topics to blog about. Still others have led me to more resources that I have worked hard to include here.

As we are rolling into Lammas, it seemed to me as good a time as any to take stock of the blog and how it looks and how I want to develop it. I know that I definitely want to complete some of those entries that currently live in "draft" form!

New Owner for the Apprentice Blog.com

I discovered while cruising through the various links that I have on this blog, that one of my favorites has a new owner. That's right. The Apprenticeblog.com is up and running again. There was a period of time during the 5th season where it was simply not being updated. So I actually spent more at the official blog, where Donald Trump essentially published the "tips" that he provides each episode.

Well, the original owner put it up for auction on ebay and the current owner purchased it. He seems like a nice fellow and is seeking to maintain the site.

I liked this particular blog because there was real analysis of each episode but it also cateered to the armchair critic in all of us.

I look forward to visiting the site in September when the Apprentice debuts in LA. (As in Los Angeles, I shudder to think what Mark Burnett would do with the show in Louisiana.)

On Saturday, December 14th

 I spent a good portion of the day watching the Flintstones holiday marathon (with some breaks for “A Christmas Story,” “Knots Landing”-the...
