Coincidental Initial

Funny how one adjective and one initial can stop me dead in my tracks and grip my stomach.  False alarm. Foolish hope.

Kansas?

I feel compelled to head West. Midwest actually.

1. I’ve just fallen in love with Buster Keaton, and upon further research learned that he was born in Kansas.

2. My heroine, Osa Johnson, whom I just read another book about, is the basis, along with her husband Martin, of a museum in Chanute, Kansas.

3. The Wizard of Oz and my girl Judy. Duh.

4. Paul motherf*n Rudd is from Kansas. If there are more men like him there, the women there have probably been keeping them secret.

I am going to start planning a road trip.

Buster

A still from College, 1927.

 

I don’t think there has ever been another man who could compare to Buster Keaton…
