Road Trip?

Found a book that I’m making good progress actually reading: Up All Night: Ted Turner, CNN, and the Birth of 24 Hour News. Lots of good stories and anecdotes, including several from Bill Tush. Turner was not only brash, but did things like cut his own hair to save money. Wore his lucky engineers cap around the office.  

Finishing up an audiobook memoir by Hallmark Channel actress Bethany Joy Lenz: Dinner For Vampires: Life on a Cult TV Show While Also in an Actual Cult. A sad story, the cult siphoned off millions from the One Tree Hill star. It was good that she got out when she did. Pretty girl, but a weird cover photo.
