I honestly can't believe I'm up so late writing this, but I've been meaning to check this Web site out for some time, and now that I have, I feel it my duty to share it with anyone with a remote interest or affinity for Jane Austen and her wonderful novels. For the last several weeks, PBS has been broadcasting, "The Complete Jane Austen" ... all of the novels that have been made into movies. They appear on Sunday nights at 9:00 p.m. ... at least where I live. Anyway, at the tail end of the latest one that I watched, Mansfield Park, the announcer noted that the Web site had a section on the Men of Austen. There's a brief run-down on each man from the Austen novels and then you can select your favorite. Darcy was too easy a choice, so I chose Frederick Wentworth from Persuasion. (He was rated #2 behind Darcy, incidentally.) So, if you want to check out something kind of fun ... here's the site: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/austen/menofausten.html
I'll have to blog about my "real life" tomorrow!
P.S. Tried to post a picture, but couldn't figure it out!

Hey Julie,
I went to the site and I also chose Wentworth. Thanks for the tip! Half of the pictures I didn't recognize so I obviously have some serious Austen movie watching to do. Your tile also looks fantastic!
