she really IS devine!

Everyone's favorite Betsy Devine was interviewed by that Barbara Walters of Blogland, Frank Paynter, and the interview is here..

And as a side route on the road to enjoyment, and thanks to Dave, King of All That Is Blog (D,KOATIB), Betsy's DAUGHTER is now blogging from the netherregions of Harvard. Check out her blog--this woman child inherrited her mother's genes for wit and writing.

Seriousity!

I was saddened to see that it took frank FOUR questions before he asked Betsy anything sexual in nature. Frank, you've got to get back into practice. Remember, you act all innocent in question ONE and then throw the sex stuff in question TWO. I think you need to do a few more interviews to get back into shape over there at Sexhill Trek or whatever you call that joint, Paynter.

But seriously, great job, and fantastic interview with a gem of a subject. I admire Betsy to the eyebrows, even if she didn't like Locke's battered women recipe--something we riffed on during a phone call when he was making battered chicken or some such breaded dinner--and especially since Ms. Devine was thrown out of her first prep school, the Mary C. Wheeler School of Providence, RI, the year I was born. I'm more proud than ever of my birth year.

Rock on.
