Imagine David Letterman sitting in the reception area where you work, going virtually unrecognized. That's how it was in 1981 when Letterman visited WHYY in Philadelphia to be interviewed by Terry Gross on Fresh Air, then a local program.

It was an interesting, in-between moment of Letterman's life. The year before, he had started a morning comedy/variety show on NBC. Suspecting the show wouldn't last long, Letterman did his Christmas show in the fall, in case the show was canceled before the holidays. It was, and in February 1982, just a few months after his Fresh Air interview, he premiered Late Night with David Letterman on NBC.

grand design / BBC house Reno on a big scale. 10 seasons of this stuff / castles, follies, barn conversions ruins, etc etc... / memorable quote: do you wish you had enlisted an architect at this point in the project? / one project per 50 min. episode. Recommended ! Find eM on you tube

cinemax (which is owned by hbo) will air a period drama produced by steven soderbergh and starring clive owen. i mention this only because they were location scouting on my block and i saw them chatting up my landlord as i came in earlier. doubt we will end up a location though as this building is more inclined towards the middle ages though they might find some clothing in the basement thats appropriate to the turn of the 20th century.

not sure how this becomes a dramatic series over the long haul but looking forward to seeing Masters of Sex starring Michael Sheen and  Lizzy Caplan on Showtime this fall.
