Folks, if Ken Burns gave you heartburn, wait until next week. A new adaptation of Roughing it, the 4 hour miniseries will debut next Saturday, the 16th on the Hallmark Channel. It stars, among others, James Garner as an elderly Twain. What's that, you say? Roughing it was published in 1872 when Twain was in his 30's? So why do we have an old Twain? From what I've been able to find out, the plot concerns the standard Old Twain giving a speech at his daughter's college graduation, and remembering his days on the frontier. This speech never happened, but what's a fact or two for people who care to send the very best. I don't get the Hallmark channel, so I'll have to console myself with this weekend's movie on ESPN about the life and times of Bobby Knight.
