THE SPURTING WATER HEATER

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, I must really write short notes today, because before I leave for TV Land, the plumber is coming (“Hi, honey, I’m the plumber”) to fix a spurting water heater. Did you ever have a spurting water heater? It is most annoying as it spurts water to and fro and also fro and to. Hopefully, said plumber will be able to fix the spurting water heater in short order.

Yesterday, I had a very interesting meeting with some very interesting producers, and I shall only say that I’m hopeful that something will come out of that meeting, because we all got along famously and I think it would be fun to be in business with these people. More at a later date, I hope.

Don’t forget, today is a huge DVD release day, with ET and the Carry On collection my two big purchases. I can’t remember what else is coming out, but there are a handful of other goodies, as I recall. Also, this week is your last chance to listen to the wonderful radio show with Lisa Richard as guest (with a few comments from yours truly). The Buddy Bregman interview will be going up on Friday. It’s only taken three months or something, but I think you will find it very very very (that is three verys – don’t you think it’s time to vary the verys?) interesting. He talks about all the great folks he’s worked with – Ella, Bing, Fosse, George Abbott, Jane Powell, Carmen McCrae, and on and on. It’s a fascinating look at a real show biz dynamo.

My goodness, don’t I have to attend to a spurting water heater? Quick, let’s all click on the Unseemly Button below so I can move these here notes along at a steady clip.

Have I mentioned that I have a spurting water heater which is, by the way (BTW, in Internet lingo), spurting? The plumber will be here any minute, so I must wrap these here notes up apace.

Don’t forget, tomorrow is Ask BK Day, so get your excellent questions ready. Tomorrow I will also have a full report on my Eileen and Chet Atkins diet. I’m hoping my body has gone into ketosis or whatever-the-hell-it’s-supposed-to-go-into so that the pounds are frittering away, I say frittering ’cause if they’r not frittering away, I say frittering, well, ya got trouble, my friend, with a capital “T” and that rhymes with “D” and that stands for “Diet”. What the hell am I talking about? Don’t I have a spurting water heater to attend to?

Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must drive hither and then drive thither, although today I shall not drive yon just to be contrary. Today’s topic of discussion: If you could look up one person from your past (presuming they are alive), who would it be and why would you want to see them again? I’ll join the fracas later, oh, yes, I will join the fracas later. Perhaps I’ll join the fracas with maracas. Meanwhile, don’t only post about this topic, post anything your collective hearts desire. I need reading matter by the middle of the day, so post away, my pretties.
