Dancing in the Dark

I am making progress on my dancers, as you can see. These are the daily update shots for my first three days. The man emerged on day three. I'm hoping for other colors soon. I'll try to do some detail shots for my next update so you can see the three layers of color that make up the shadowy dancers.

Hey, Hey, LBJ, how many chapters did you read today? I've been mostly off my computer, just listening to LBJ getting to be Vice President. Caro is a Wonderful writer. He has written a lot about Jack and Bobby Kennedy as well as LBJ. I am wondering why I was so fond of Bobby when he was running for president. I am hoping that he had matured by then. What a brat. Jack is still a bit of a cipher.  I know he was idealized hugely after his assassination. Caro is such a careful writer, I have a feeling that I will finally be able to figure out who Jack Kennedy was by the time I get through his presidency. Caro mentions all the other books that were written about these people. He looks at points that were made from several sides, looks at all published material, reads unpublished documents, interviews those who are still alive. I think you get a very balanced picture by the time you are done reading.

This book is four sections long on Audible. Each is over 8 hours long. I have finished section one. I just checked, we will be heading to Dallas by the time I end the second section. The Kennedys used LBJ to win the '60 election. After that, he was not important to them. That means the next section will be about the diminution of a very powerful man. Oh boy.
