Putting on the Ritz

On December 14, 1553, my favorite French king, Henri of Navarre, was born. If only I’d had nine lives like a cat, I’d have loved to write about him…sigh.
Good news from George RR Martin yesterday; the anthology Dangerous Women has debuted at #18 on the New York Times bestseller list. And the British edition of A King’s Ransom is finally up on Amazon.uk, ready for pre-ordering; the pub date is March 13th.
I posted this link last year, but I have many new Facebook friends since then who may not have seen it. It is, quite simply, the best Flash-mob ever. Take a few minutes to watch as these young Moscow dancers assemble to put on a dazzling performance of Putting on the Ritz, one that even involves a new bride. The sheer delight on the faces of the audience is in itself delightful; I cannot imagine anyone watching this without smiling. Consider it an early Christmas present to my Facebook faithful.
