What's next? Don't know. I was intrigued by the Daily Show interview with the author of Empty Mansions last night. That sounded fascinating. (Author tried to find out who the owner of a multi-million dollar mansion was, and turned out the caretaker hadn't seen her since 1951. He tracked her residence to California and to other mansions under her name, and no one had seen her there since the 50s either. Then he tracked her as having three homes in Manhattan... and she didn't live in any of those either. He began to wonder whether she might not even be alive (what with her having been old enough that her parents had bought her a ticket on the destined-never-to-happen return trip of the Titanic). Color him intrigued...
