What's Going On Here?

There are SO MANY wonderful book review blogs out there and I can't compete with them, that is for sure. So this is not a book review blog. This is just a way for me to organize what I have read so that I can be better at matching the right book to the right person. The blog title comes from the brilliant mind of the most talented woman who ever lived, Ms. Judy Garland. The full quote is, "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of someone else." That is what I hope to do here and in ever aspect of my life.

LBJ Took the IRT down to 4th Street USA

Lady Bird Johnson, Legacy of a First Lady was a quick listen and fascinating.  It is a program heard on NPR produced and directed and narrated by Joe Bevilacqua, who did a masterful job in grabbing my interest.  I only wish it had been longer!  When I went to Austin for work in June I visited Lady Bird Lake and decided that August would be my month of the Johnsons!  Well, I am late in getting to them, and this was my first baby step but wow, what a step!  It includes footage of interviews with Lady Bird, Barbara Bush, Betty FordKatharine Graham,  and others.
