Marley and Me

PBS/39 television spot now on the Web
A film crew from the PBS affiliate in the Lehigh Valley, Pa., PBS/39, came out to my house last week and hung out with Jenny and me (and Gracie the Lab) for a few hours. The crew, with reporter Jeff Chirico, also showed up at a signing I did at tiny Parkland Community Library, about a half hour from my house, in which 300 people showed up, pretty much overwhelming the library and its staff. The final piece runs about 5 minutes and can be viewed as a webcast at the station's website. Go to:

You'll want to fast forward through the first two segments. The Marley piece is third in the lineup. I thought Jeff and his team did a really great job cramming a lot into a few minutes and skillfully telling the story of Marley and the book's suprising climb up the nation's bestseller lists. Not only that, but you get to see me pretending to be working on my next manuscript as I sit at my computer (don't tell the agent; she's a taskmaster), and, of course, Gracie being disobedient! The piece includes a visit to Marley's grave in back of our property on the edge of the woods.

I could not access this at all - is it shut down? What a shame. My 10-year-old son Ian would have loved to see Gracie in action.
the link didn't work
Try the direct link: http://webcast.wlvt.org/Tempo/2005-06/tempo-331.wmv
Or go to http://www.wlvt.org/tempo/WebInfo.htm and scroll down to #331.
Audio (and video) works fine for me. Might be a codec issue for you, dja.
