![]() I did the sketch, I was shooting with Hamm on Friday, and I called my doctor ’cause at the end there you kind of have to call in every day, and the receptionist was crying. G, ‘I’m gonna do the show and I’ll come in Sunday, and maybe we’ll do it Sunday/Monday.’ ![]() And it was an example of the beginning of what children do to you, which is they fuck up all your plans. And I had, my plan was that I was gonna do the Jon Hamm show and I was due the next day. Jon Hamm was hosting Saturday Night Live, his first time, and I was just getting to know him, and we were doing a sketch, a Mad Men sketch, I was dressed in an old-timey way, in a big dress, and I was huge. Here’s what Poehler had to say in her soon-t0-be-released memoir, Yes Please: When Hamm - riding high off the conclusion of Mad Men‘s second season - hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time, he left quite the impression on Poehler, who was very, very pregnant at the time. (Or, in the case of Paul Rudd, best friends with everyone ever.) If you assumed that was the case for Jon Hamm and Amy Poehler, it turns out you’d be correct. ![]() It’s safe to assume that your favorite actors are all friends with one another. ![]()

"I'm sort of the godfather of ninjas, certainly in this country," Mr. Lustbader and his wife, Victoria, moved to the East End soon after the publication 10 years ago of "The Ninja," a novel featuring a Japanese-American character that was instrumental in fomenting the ninja phenomenon here. The author lives and writes in a house in Southampton that overlooks Shinnecock Bay and a garden that he and a landscaper, Charles Marder of Bridgehampton, have built up. Indeed, it is a new one, "Angel Eyes," being published this month by Ballantine Books. This must be an Eric Van Lustbader novel. And the certainty that his tale of international intrigue will show up on best-seller lists. Exotic settings that include the Orient, where nothing is as it seems.

In addition the History Channel offers a summary, How the Dust Bowl Made Americans Refugees in Their Own Country. ![]() ![]() The Capitol Museum of California has a brief summary in photos and words of the history of the Dust Bowl migration. I recommend reading the book before the guide. Note that this guide, like all of the guides, may contain spoilers. However I did appreciate the female point-of-view and from an historical perspective there are many parallels between the 1930s and today to discuss, from an economic chasm between the rich and the poor to a push for unionization. For a novel on the dust bowl migration to California I would reach for the Grapes of Wrath. They were very one-dimensional and as every possible horrendous event befell them, each event was told (yup told, not shown) in far-too-short descriptions without any reflection on the encounters. ![]() In addition, I felt like the characters didn’t feel real.
