Tuesday Night Book Club

Yes, I watched the "reality" soap opera debut last night of Tuesday Night Book Club on CBS. Wasn't planning to. But when my Comcast told me the show centered on women from Scottsdale, Ariz., I said, "I need to see this." After all, I did watch The Will. I know, I know. That show lasted only one week. This one probably will make it, because it's got that Starting Over vibe to it, with the added inanity that is Scottsdale. These people may be acting, but they're not acting. This is how a lot of folks think, act and live in Scottsdale -- at least the people who think, act and live publicly. There also are plenty of nice folks (I still know a few) who live there, too, but they don't seek the limelight.
