 He said, "Does he have an appointment? Is he on the calendar?"
 "I don't believe so, sir."
 "No, no, no. I'm working. I cannot be disturbed when I'm being creative. Tell him he has to come back and make an appointment."

    Michael Jackson was such a genius but so messed up, too. Does this book answer some questions?

    This isn't a book I'm likely to buy, but I'll admit I'm curious!

    Michael Jackson was never really a part of my childhood so I never understood the fascination with him, but I've always felt sorry for so much of stuff that was written about him in the media! Thanks for hosting:) Enjoy your weekend!

    It's too bad we lost Michael so young. He was a very talented artist.

    I hope you are enjoying this book. MJ's life was so sad there at the end.

    There's so much that was written and speculated about MJ that it's often hard to know what was true. Hopefully this book helps to clarify some of that. There was a lot of sadness to his life, which really is too bad.

    Interesting 56! I think I'd like this book.

    I haven't been doing many memes lately, I miss them though so I need to start again.

    Interesting pick. I'm not one for nonfiction, but I totally get how you absolutely cannot be disturbed when the creative bug has bitten.

The legendary wizard, Merlin, appears and explains that the throne of Camelot must be determined through TRIAL BY COMBAT. Our heroes pull out all the stops to try and win the tournament, break the witch's hold on King Arthur, and find a way back to the present in this legendary story of Scooby Doo in King Arthur's Court. REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
