Have you read Something Wicked this Way Comes? Bradbury really got the small town and carnival feel there. Very creepy. Not a long book but a good one.

@LindaOHio The book really nails the relationship between the boy and his father and the father's sad reflection on how fast time flies.

I didn't realize it was Tooth Fairy day, but that explains why there was an article online about the history of the Tooth Fairy. It was a pretty interesting read. I always enjoy learning how things like that get started.

I should have put the history of the tooth fairy in this post. Ah, well. I could always do that tomorrow. Thanks for the idea.

I believe that Valerie Harper is dying of a disease.

She's fighting cancer; and I don't think she's doing all that well.

I liked the short shows by Ray Bradbury, I particularly liked his mystery and horror stories.

I loved Valerie Harper as Rhoda! Peaches are good, but I prefer nectarines.
