tvordljOk, so i couldn't wait until after the Parade of Sail to put my photos up online. Flickr set with photos and videos here. Those of you on Facebook, there are sets of similar photos there, broken up into two albums so that the cruise photos from today are separate. I will post Parade of Sail photos after the event.
2009 Books:
17: Audition by Barbara Walters
This is her autobiography. Quite a thick book and it's quite interesting. I liked reading about her life before she became famous and she was always very frank about her regrets, her ambition. She was a ground breaker for women in broadcasting and it sounds like she's a workaholic. The woman is in her 70s though won't say exactly how old she is. Very interesting to read how she got interviews with some of the most famous names in the world, both political and celebrity, heads of state and ordinary people who's lives and situations touched her. She talks about lots of her interviewees, many of whom she liked even if she didn't like their politics or what they'd done. Even when it's clear she really disliked her interviewee, she tends to soften it and doesn't write insults or hugely negative stuff. Some, yes, but not like "mud slinging" types of things. It seemed pretty fair and she seemed to try to be honest.
