Elizabeth P. Glixman interviews...
Ron McLarty, author of The Dropper
In order to play a variety of roles, a character actor develops a little spot in the corner of the brain where he stores those primal observations, the idiosyncrasies of everyday people. So I subconsciously found myself studying folks everywhere I went and filing the information in my big head.

Hey everyone
Kate and I just back from our anniversary trip to Rome and Paris.
Rome much less crowded than on our last trip so we got into the Vatican and Colosseum easily. Saint Peter's was great and quite overwhelming and of course the Sistine Chapel. We also really loved Castel San'Angelo and had a very clear day to view all of Rome from the top!
We walked all the way to the Borghese Park (had to--to walk off the endless plates of pasta consumed) and were rewarded by the exquisite Bernini sculptures at the Galleria there.
We ate a lot at our favorite restaurant, Lilli's and found a new place Ferrara's in our neighborhood that was great. We reconnected with our friends from last NY's eve at Cantina Paradiso which was great fun. Our visions of a romantic overnight train to Paris from Rome were thoroughly spoiled by the extremely BAD food on the train and lackluster accommodations. We had 2 of the best meals of our lives in two of Paris's tiniest restaurants--one for fish (Menuiere Mullot on the Left Bank) and one for meat (La Severo in Montparnasse). We went to the D'Orsay and the Rodin Museums which were both spectacular and enjoyed the Tuilleries even though it was winter. We walked by the Seine and saw the houseboats parked along and wondered how they manage in the cold. Also saw several churches-- Saint Sulpice, Notre Dame and Sacre Couer all quite majestic but we liked the Roman churches better. I am recording the new David Baldacci (thanks, David!) next week and as always looking forward to reading and recording it. Otherwise I am busy writing on 2 new projects and hoping some folks are downloading The Dropper from iTunes!
Stay warm
Ron
